Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ash
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and open days.
Work events near Ash might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Ash, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Share the shift pattern
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

The closest is Ash station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
