A chip van near Beltring
Corporate fish and chip catering in Beltring, cooked to order
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include open days and customer events and retirement and leaving lunches, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Beltring, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
