About our corporate fish and chip catering in Pittswood
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include workplace fundraising days and end-of-project celebrations, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Pittswood, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Pittswood questions
How far is Pittswood from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Pittswood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. Visitors love it.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Pittswood, and we will check the date and send a price.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Send allergies to us in writing
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a staff lunch in Pittswood, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
