How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Penton Corner

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Penton Corner is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Common questions in Penton Corner
Is Penton Corner close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Penton Corner too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Penton Corner.
Is there a non-fish option?

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
