Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Barrowhill
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and team away days.
For farms and rural sites near Barrowhill, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. 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’s handed over.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Barrowhill
Is Barrowhill close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. 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.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen needed
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
