Fresh fish and chips in Woolpack Corner
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For an end-of-day event in Woolpack Corner, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Woolpack Corner
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater charity days and lunch for site crews, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Woolpack Corner can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Woolpack Corner: your questions answered
How far is Woolpack Corner from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not 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.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
