Fresh fish and chips in Runcton

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Consider a pre-order list

When service is finished, we pack up.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Runcton

It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We are often asked to cater celebrating a big win and summer team days, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

Rural businesses around Runcton can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The day of the week
  • Any minimum charge
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Access and parking

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • The venue or postcode

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

How the day works

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Runcton, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. We start with a few details about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Runcton: your questions answered

Can you serve near the sea around Runcton?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

How far is Runcton from London?

Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

When do you arrive?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

Can you invoice the company?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.

Do you take everything away?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Is grass a problem?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.

Can you serve each shift?

Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

What you get with us

  • A clear quote before booking
  • Events in Runcton and across West Sussex
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
