About our corporate fish and chip catering in Stanhope
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater customer days and summer staff parties.
For businesses around Stanhope, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
For event organisers in Stanhope
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Find out what documents the site needs
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Common questions in Stanhope
How far is Stanhope from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Ashford Community Woodland?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cover Stanhope?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Stanhope is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, use our quote form.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A lunch-break van visit in Stanhope is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or TN23 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
