Fresh fish and chips in Singleton
Corporate fish and chip catering in Singleton, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for thank-you lunches for the team and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Near Singleton, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies

Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Singleton: your questions answered
Is Singleton close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. Visitors love it.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
For event organisers in Singleton
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Other occasions in Singleton
Why choose a fish and chip van in Singleton?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- We cover Singleton and the whole of West Sussex
- Something for staff to gather round
- Classic food your staff already know
Read how we price or our guide to van hire costs.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For an end-of-day event in Singleton, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
