How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Shawford
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. Whether it’s retirement and leaving lunches and friday lunch treats, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Shawford, 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, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Common questions in Shawford
Do you come out to small places like Shawford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Shawford from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can you cater for allergies?
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.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
A chip van compared with other options
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
