Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- Service time
- The number of meals
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Anthill Common
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. For a monthly Fish Friday and customer days, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Anthill Common, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. After-work summer events in Anthill Common have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Check with facilities where the van can park
After the last group, we pack up.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
