Corporate fish and chip catering in Whitehall, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and team away days, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Whitehall can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. For a staff lunch in Whitehall, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand

Questions from Whitehall
Which station is closest to Whitehall?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
How far is Whitehall from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 is crisp.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Consider a pre-order list
- Find out what documents the site needs
Send a message round when the van opens.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Whitehall?
It is hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.
