Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Albourne Street

The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for thank-you lunches for the team and fish Friday treats.

Rural businesses around Albourne Street can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Why book with us

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

See our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

How it works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Lunchtime bookings in Albourne Street are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. We start with a few details about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Ask for a quote

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.

Choosing a fish and chip van

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • The menu and how many choices
  • The length of service
  • The date and time of year

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • The date and time of the event
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Looking after everyone

Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Consider a pre-order list
  • Ask facilities about access
  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Let us know about coeliac disease

After the last group, we pack up.

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

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

  • 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
