If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Rowfant

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Whether it is lunch for site crews and workplace fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.

Near Rowfant, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Choosing a fish and chip van

How the day works

Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. In Rowfant, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Takeaway run or book a van?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Rowfant?

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Why us?

  • Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Bookings across West Sussex, including Rowfant
