Corporate fish and chip catering for Portslade events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Portslade, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. We are often asked to cater team away days and open days and customer events, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Around Portslade, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime staff treats in Portslade are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

What affects the price in Portslade
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Portslade, and we will check the date and send a price.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Portslade: your questions answered
Can the van park in Benfield Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is Portslade close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Something for staff to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask facilities about access
When service is finished, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: 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. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
