How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Ashendon
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for staff thank-you lunches and open days and customer events.
At country workplaces around Ashendon, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Cod and chips

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
