Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Barton
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for fish Friday treats and open days.
Around Barton, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Barton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Barton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why Barton hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Hot food handed straight over
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
