Corporate fish and chip catering for Rake events
The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Rake are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Corporate fish and chip catering in Rake, fried fresh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff appreciation days and charity days.
At country workplaces around Rake, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Rake questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Rake too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Rake, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
