Corporate fish and chip catering for Wilsley Green events
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a staff lunch in Wilsley Green, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Wilsley Green
Which station is closest to Wilsley Green?
The closest is Staplehurst station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
Can the van park in Crane Valley?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
