How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Afton
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and retirement send-offs.
For farms and rural sites near Afton, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask facilities about access
- Consider a pre-order list
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Afton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event in Afton. After-work summer events in Afton have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day

For event organisers in Afton
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Afton questions
Can you serve near the sea around Afton?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Afton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
