Fresh fish and chips in Pembles Cross
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Pembles Cross
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for open days and charity days.
At country workplaces around Pembles Cross, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Pembles Cross
How far is Pembles Cross from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Is Pembles Cross too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Put allergy details in writing
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
