Corporate fish and chip catering in Virginia Water, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We’re frequently asked to cater summer team days and charity days, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Work events near Virginia Water might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A chip van suits all of them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Virginia Water: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Virginia Water?
Virginia Water station, in Virginia Water itself.
Could you trade in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. Visitors love it.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
