Corporate fish and chip catering in Sidley, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We are frequently asked to cater open days and customer events and lunch for site crews, with cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Sidley, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Collect allergies in advance
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Sidley?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

- We cover Sidley and the whole of East Sussex
Sidley: your questions answered
Can the van park in Egerton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Sidley?
Bexhill station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Lunchtime staff treats in Sidley are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
