About our corporate fish and chip catering in Barton on Sea
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. Whether it’s charity and fundraising days at work and summer team days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For businesses around Barton on Sea, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
For event organisers in Barton on Sea
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Barton on Sea? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For a staff lunch in Barton on Sea, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form

- Give us break and shift times
- Send allergies to us in writing
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
