Corporate fish and chip catering in Patcham
Corporate fish and chip catering in Patcham, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for charity days and retirement and leaving lunches.
For businesses around Patcham, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share the shift pattern
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
For event organisers in Patcham
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Patcham questions
Could you trade in Withdean Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Patcham close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Brighton and Hove. Find your area.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Patcham, daylight is not 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.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
