Standford questions
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 follow the site rules.
Is Standford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Standford
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it is retirement and leaving lunches and a monthly Fish Friday, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Standford, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give us break and shift times
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Staff lunches in Standford: access and travel

For staff and visitors coming by train, the nearest station is Liphook station, about 2.9 miles south-east. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your staff
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A lunch-break van visit in Standford is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
