Corporate fish and chip catering in Alderholt
About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Alderholt, cooked to order
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Around Alderholt, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
