Corporate fish and chip catering in Oxted, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We’re often asked to cater retirement send-offs and lunch for site crews, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Around Oxted, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. A lunch-break van visit in Oxted is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Oxted: your questions answered
How far is Oxted from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Oxted?
Hurst Green station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What affects the price in Oxted
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head usually 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.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
