Corporate fish and chip catering in Balmerlawn, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it’s open days and staff appreciation days, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Balmerlawn, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Collect allergies in advance
Put bins near the hatch.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For an end-of-day event in Balmerlawn, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Ensure the van can get in
