A chip van near Artington
Corporate fish and chip catering in Artington, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. For fish Friday treats and workplace fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Artington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

- We agree exactly where the van parks.
