Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Westhumble
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. We are often asked to cater celebrating a big win and fish Friday treats, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Westhumble can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Common questions in Westhumble
Is Westhumble close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Norbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your staff
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
