Fresh fish and chips in Selling
What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a staff lunch in Selling, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Selling, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. For fish Friday treats and warehouse, depot and site teams, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Selling, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch

Selling questions
Is Selling too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Selling from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Typically, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
