A fish and chip van or other catering?

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Bishopstone
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include workplace fundraising days and retirement send-offs, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For businesses around Bishopstone, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Where will the van go on our site?
Usually, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
