Fresh fish and chips in Piddinghoe
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Piddinghoe
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. For charity days and open days and customer events, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Piddinghoe, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Share the shift pattern
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Confirm allergies by email
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Piddinghoe questions
Is Piddinghoe close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Do you cover Piddinghoe?
We do. Piddinghoe is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you come onto our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
What affects the price in Piddinghoe
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Piddinghoe, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
