How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Reigate
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. For summer team days and warehouse, depot and site teams, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
For businesses in Reigate, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, as long as the site allows it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Something for staff to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Quick service from the hatch

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Put bins near the hatch.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Common questions in Reigate
Is Reigate close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Castle Grounds?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. Visitors love it.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Reigate for staff days and team lunches
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. From the centre of Reigate to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. Our bookings stretch from Reigate to Guildford (16 miles away).
Central London is about 19 miles from Reigate, well within our area. Being near the A25 and A217 makes Reigate a simple run for the van. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 5 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
This part of Surrey takes in RH2 and RH1, and we can serve your staff event anywhere in it. Streets in the area include High Street, London Road and Church Road, and the van can serve a staff event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Being close to the A25 and A217, Reigate is easy for us to reach with the van. Close by, we cover staff events in South Park (1 mile south), Margery (2 miles north), Mogador (2 miles north-west), Sidlow (2 miles south) and Irons Bottom (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (4 miles south), Ewell (8 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Caterham (6 miles north-east) and Dorking (6 miles west).

Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For a staff lunch in Reigate, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
