Fresh fish and chips in West Langdon
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in West Langdon
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Whether it’s shift teams at depots and warehouses and retirement and leaving lunches, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural businesses around West Langdon can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
West Langdon: your questions answered
Is West Langdon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is West Langdon from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
