Corporate fish and chip catering in Bowling Alley, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and retirement and leaving lunches.
For farms and rural sites near Bowling Alley, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For an end-of-day event in Bowling Alley, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Check with facilities where the van can park
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

- Travel, tolls and road charges

- The menu and how many choices

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
