Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Lunchtime staff treats in Boarhunt are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
