Corporate fish and chip catering in Staplecross, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and a monthly Fish Friday, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Collect allergies in advance
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Give us break and shift times
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Staplecross
Is Staplecross too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Staplecross close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events after work in Staplecross have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
