Corporate fish and chip catering in Way, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and charity and fundraising days at work.
At country workplaces around Way, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there

FAQs for Way
Do you come out to small places like Way?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
