A chip van near Steyning

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Steyning

We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Whether it’s thank-you lunches for the team and friday lunch treats, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.

Teams near Steyning often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

For event organisers in Steyning

Organising a club, school or community event in Steyning? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Consider a pre-order list
  • Give us break and shift times
  • Check with facilities where the van can park

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

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. Lunchtime bookings in Steyning are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Why us?

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Bookings across West Sussex, including Steyning

Questions from Steyning

What’s the nearest station to Steyning?

The closest is Lancing station, roughly 4.1 miles away.

What about events near the coast?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

Do you do customer events and open days?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can you serve each shift?

Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

Haddock and chips
