A chip van near Perham Down
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Perham Down
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Whether it’s workplace fundraising days and team away days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Perham Down, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Perham Down
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Perham Down
Which station is closest to Perham Down?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
Is Perham Down close to London?
About 69 miles from central London.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
