Corporate fish and chip catering for Shillinglee events
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Shillinglee
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater celebrating a big win and fish Friday treats.
Rural businesses around Shillinglee can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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 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.

How it works

- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Shillinglee
Is Shillinglee too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
