Fresh fish and chips in Wych Cross

Corporate fish and chip catering in Wych Cross, cooked to order

It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for warehouse, depot and site teams and charity and fundraising days at work.

For farms and rural sites near Wych Cross, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Wych Cross?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why us?

  • No surprises in your quote
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • All the chip-shop extras

See how we price and the cost guide.

Looking after everyone

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Find out what documents the site needs

We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Wych Cross questions

Is Wych Cross close to London?

Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.

Do you come out to small places like Wych Cross?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Wych Cross?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Do you work around shifts?

Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

What can staff choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.

Where can the van park?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

What affects the price in Wych Cross

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • Parking and the way in
  • The minimum booking
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The day of the week

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • Expected numbers
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

How it works

Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. After-work summer events in Wych Cross have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
