A chip van near Shalden
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Shalden
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for summer team days and staff appreciation days.
At country workplaces around Shalden, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer events after work in Shalden have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Shalden? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What affects the price in Shalden
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Service time
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Questions from Shalden
Is Shalden close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Shalden?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask staff to pre-order
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
