Food your guests will love

Corporate fish and chip catering in St Leonards, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For open days and retirement and leaving lunches, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Teams near St Leonards frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

FAQs for St Leonards
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cover St Leonards?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and St Leonards is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
