Common questions in South Park
Which station is closest to South Park?
The closest is Reigate station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can the van park in Castle Grounds?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in South Park?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in South Park
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For staff thank-you lunches and fish Friday treats, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Around South Park, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A lunch-break van visit in South Park is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
