Corporate fish and chip catering in Ash
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a staff lunch in Ash, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ash
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We are often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and project milestones, with mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Ash, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Diets, allergies and planning

Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
