Corporate fish and chip catering in Old Woking, cooked to order

For farms and rural sites near Old Woking, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Old Woking, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
