Corporate fish and chip catering for Bobbing events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Bobbing
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it is open days and customer events and retirement send-offs, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Bobbing, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Perfect for your staff event in Bobbing
It is hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.
Whatever the occasion in Bobbing, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re frequently booked for:

For colleagues arriving by train, the nearest station is Newington station, about 1.4 miles west.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. A lunch-break van visit in Bobbing is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Confirm allergies by email
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
