About our corporate fish and chip catering in Sandhurst
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater open days and customer events and friday lunch treats, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Sandhurst, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Share the shift pattern
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
After the last group, we pack up.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Sandhurst questions
Is Sandhurst close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will 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.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Sandhurst, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day

Staff lunches in Sandhurst: access and travel
Sandhurst is about 11 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. People in Sandhurst book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 28 miles away.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
