A chip van near Tilford
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Tilford
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and open days, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Tilford, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Consider a pre-order list
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Common questions in Tilford
Which station is closest to Tilford?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Can the van park in Thundry Meadows?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can the van come to Tilford?
Yes, we do. Tilford is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Lunchtime bookings in Tilford are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for staff to gather round
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No surprises in your quote
