Corporate fish and chip catering in South Chailey, fried fresh
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For open days and lunch for site crews, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near South Chailey, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
There’s 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.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For an end-of-day event in South Chailey, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
