Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Wilmington
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We’re frequently asked to cater celebrating a big win and open days and customer events, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Wilmington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Wilmington for staff days and team lunches
Wilmington is about 4 miles south-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. We take a fish and chip van for your team to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Wilmington and the surrounding area. We take the van to all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Wilmington to Brighton (14 miles away).
Wilmington is about 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. Within reach of Wilmington are historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (1.9 miles south-west) and Michelham Priory (3 miles north). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for vehicles. With the South Downs National Park within about 2 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. Within about 6 miles of the sea, fish and chips goes down well with any team.

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your staff
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime staff treats in Wilmington are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
