Corporate fish and chip catering in Sarre, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for friday lunch treats and workplace fundraising days.
Near Sarre, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. After-work summer events in Sarre have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Common questions in Sarre
Is Sarre close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Sarre?
The closest is Minster station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards typically work well.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
