How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Slaugham
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for a monthly Fish Friday and lunch for site crews.
For farms and rural sites near Slaugham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Slaugham for staff days and team lunches
Slaugham is about 5 miles south of Crawley, in West Sussex. We park up at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Slaugham and the surrounding area. Slaugham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Slaugham to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
Central London is about 32 miles from Slaugham, and we cover it as standard. Within reach of Slaugham are historic houses such as Tyes Place (1.8 miles east) and Ockenden Manor (3.6 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for vehicles.
For staff events in RH17, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. If your venue is just outside Slaugham, we also cover Handcross (1 mile north), Plummers Plain (1 mile west), Lower Beeding (2 miles west), Colwood (3 miles south) and Crabtree (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (5 miles north), Horsham (5 miles west), Haywards Heath (6 miles south-east), Burgess Hill (7 miles south-east), East Grinstead (10 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (14 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Cuckfield Museum (3.6 miles south-east) and Crawley Hospital (5.4 miles north). Within reach you will find Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow and Tilgate Lake.
- Pubs nearby include Carpenter's Arms (under half a mile north-east)
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Give us break and shift times
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Why us?
- Something for staff to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Take a look at our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Common questions in Slaugham
Which station is closest to Slaugham?
Balcombe station, about 3.3 miles east of the centre.
Is Slaugham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
For event organisers in Slaugham
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.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. After-work summer events in Slaugham have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
