A chip van near Alkerton

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Alkerton

It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and lunch for site crews, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

Near Alkerton, workplaces can be far from shops, 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.

For event organisers in Alkerton

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

The process

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events after work in Alkerton have light until about 9:30pm; in late May it’s about 9:00pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. We start with a few details about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear 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. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What you get with us

  • A clear quote before booking
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

Read our prices page and the cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

  • Service time
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The minimum booking
  • Your choice of menu

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What to tell us

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

15 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Alkerton

Do you come out to small places like Alkerton?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.

Can you come onto our site?

Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.

Do you come to Alkerton?

Yes, we do. Alkerton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
