Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Sandleheath

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
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.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What else we do in Sandleheath
What affects the price in Sandleheath
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Share the shift pattern
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Questions from Sandleheath
Do you come out to small places like Sandleheath?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime bookings in Sandleheath are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
