How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Westdean
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater workplace fundraising days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
For farms and rural sites near Westdean, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Westdean
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Westdean too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Take a look at our prices page or what a fish and chip van costs.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Westdean, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
