Fresh fish and chips in Steel Cross
Corporate fish and chip catering in Steel Cross, cooked to order
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. For a monthly Fish Friday and thank-you lunches for the team, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Steel Cross can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask facilities about access
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Steel Cross, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day

Steel Cross questions
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Steel Cross close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Steel Cross?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards usually work well.
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
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
