Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Rackham
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. We’re often asked to cater leaving dos and shift teams at depots and warehouses, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Rackham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Rackham
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Parham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
