Corporate fish and chip catering in Outwood, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and team away days, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Outwood, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Outwood
Do you come out to small places like Outwood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Outwood close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to Outwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Outwood is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Share the shift pattern
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Have a back-up for special diets
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Outwood for staff days and team lunches
Outwood is about 3 miles east of Horley, in Surrey. Outwood is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Outwood is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Outwood to Guildford (20 miles away).
Outwood is about 21 miles from central London.
We serve staff events across RH1. That could mean a staff event at a home on Miller's Lane, Bellwether Lane and Scott's Hill, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Smallfield (1 mile south), Horley (3 miles west), Burstow (3 miles south), Fernhill (3 miles south-west) and Keeper's Corner (3 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Epsom (12 miles north-west), Redhill (4 miles north-west), Ewell (13 miles north-west), Reigate (5 miles north-west), Caterham (7 miles north) and Dorking (10 miles west).
A little further out are Effingham Park Motor Museum (3.7 miles south) and East Surrey Hospital (2.9 miles north-west). The countryside around Outwood includes Bay Pond and Hedgecourt Lake.
- Pubs nearby include The Castle pub (less than half a mile west)
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Hot food handed straight over
