Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Sundridge
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We’re frequently asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and open days, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Sundridge, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Where the van can park in Sundridge
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Sundridge. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
