Corporate fish and chip catering in Southwick, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. We’re often asked to cater team away days and celebrating a big win, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Southwick, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Where the van can park in Southwick
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Send round an allergy question
- Share the shift pattern
- Consider a pre-order list
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
