Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Stanford Common
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. For friday lunch treats and summer team days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Stanford Common, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

Why us?

- We cover Stanford Common and the whole of Surrey
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your staff already know
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Consider a pre-order list
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. For a staff lunch in Stanford Common, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- 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 serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
