How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Shopwyke
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for team away days and warehouse, depot and site teams.
Near Shopwyke, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. 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 work through them with you.
What affects the price in Shopwyke
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Service time
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect allergies in advance
Send a message round when the van opens.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Shopwyke
What’s the nearest station to Shopwyke?
Chichester station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Do you come to Shopwyke?
Yes, we do. Shopwyke is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. Visitors love it.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. After-work summer events in Shopwyke have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
