What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your staff
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Petworth
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater workplace fundraising days and project milestones.
Near Petworth, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Gravy

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in Petworth are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Petworth?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book our van in Petworth
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before you book
