Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Redhill
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater workplace fundraising days and open days.
Workplaces in Redhill range from offices to industrial units. A chip van feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Consider a pre-order list
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Redhill for staff days and team lunches
Redhill is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. From the centre of Redhill to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Redhill is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Redhill to London (about 18 miles away).
The A23 and A25 put Redhill within easy reach for the van. For staff and visitors coming by train, Redhill station serves Redhill directly. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 7 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
We cover staff events in every part of the RH1 and RH2 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your staff event is on High Street, Station Road and Church Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Being close to the A23 and A25, Redhill is simple for us to get to for your staff event. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Earlswood (1 mile south), Holmethorpe (1 mile north-east), Meadvale (1 mile south-west), South Earlswood (2 miles south) and South Nutfield (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Epsom (8 miles north-west), Horley (4 miles south), Ewell (9 miles north-west), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Caterham (5 miles north-east) and Dorking (7 miles west). Being one of Surrey’s larger places, Redhill has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
A little further out are The Belfry (within half a mile north) and Surrey Fire Museum (1.2 miles west). The countryside around Redhill includes Colley Hill and Reigate Heath.
- Nearby schools include The Carrington School (0.5 miles north-east) and Dunottar School (0.8 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find White Lion Public House (less than half a mile west)
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For an end-of-day event in Redhill, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
