About our corporate fish and chip catering in Pett
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. Typical bookings include retirement and leaving lunches and summer team days, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Pett, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Why book with us
- Events in Pett and across East Sussex
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A clear quote before booking

- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
