Corporate fish and chip catering for South Earlswood events
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in South Earlswood
Can the van park in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to South Earlswood?
Yes, we do. We serve events in South Earlswood and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. Visitors love it.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in South Earlswood
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for friday lunch treats and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Rural businesses around South Earlswood can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in South Earlswood, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
South Earlswood for staff days and team lunches
South Earlswood is about 2 miles south of Redhill, in Surrey. From the centre of South Earlswood to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We cover 395 places across Surrey. Our bookings stretch from South Earlswood to Guildford (18 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Earlswood (Surrey) station, about 0.9 miles north, is the nearest station. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
For staff events in RH1, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. That could mean a staff event at a home on Maple Road, Heston Road and Horley Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Other places close to South Earlswood we cover include Earlswood (1 mile north), Salfords (1 mile south), Meadvale (1 mile north-west), Redhill (2 miles north) and South Nutfield (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Epsom (9 miles north-west), Ewell (10 miles north), Caterham (6 miles north-east), Dorking (7 miles west), Ashtead (9 miles north-west) and Leatherhead (9 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include The Belfry (1.8 miles north) and Reigate Priory Museum (2.2 miles north-west). The countryside around South Earlswood includes Mercers Lake and Colley Hill.
- Local schools include Reigate School (1.2 miles north-west) and Dunottar School (1.3 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Flying Scud pub (1 mile north)
Where the van can park in South Earlswood
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send round an allergy question
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 typically simpler.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events after work in South Earlswood have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
