How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Blackwater
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Whether it is leaving dos and end-of-project celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Teams near Blackwater often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the shift pattern
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
