Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ramsdean
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. For retirement send-offs and summer staff parties, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Ramsdean, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before you book
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

What affects the price in Ramsdean
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- The number of meals
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Give us break and shift times
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a staff lunch in Ramsdean, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
