How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Pachesham Park

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Common questions in Pachesham Park
Can the van park in River Mole LNR?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
