Corporate fish and chip catering in Pipsden, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and summer staff parties, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Pipsden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the shift pattern
- Put allergy details in writing
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in Pipsden are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.

Pipsden questions
Which station is closest to Pipsden?
Etchingham station, about 4.4 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Pipsden from London?
About 41 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
