A chip van near Tatsfield

What happens on the day

We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. In Tatsfield, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Tatsfield

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For team away days and customer days, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.

London work events in Tatsfield often run to a tight lunch break, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What you get with us

  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Read how we price or the cost guide.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Looking after everyone

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

  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A short walk from the party
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

As a London location, Tatsfield is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What we serve

  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips
  • Staff lunches

Tatsfield questions

Which station is closest to Tatsfield?

Oxted station, about 3 miles south-west of the centre.

Is parking a problem for the van in Tatsfield?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Do you serve visitors at events?

We do. Visitors love it.

Can you serve children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
