About our corporate fish and chip catering in Bessels Green
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for friday lunch treats and summer team days.
For farms and rural sites near Bessels Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. In Bessels Green, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
