Fresh fish and chips in Shoreham
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Shoreham
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and summer staff parties.
Rural businesses around Shoreham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a thank-you that lands, a chip van is hard to beat in Shoreham. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why book our van in Shoreham
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A clear quote before you book
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Common questions in Shoreham
Do you come out to small places like Shoreham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Raspberry Hall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come to Shoreham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Shoreham. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Shoreham, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
