Corporate fish and chip catering in Boxford, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for warehouse, depot and site teams and charity and fundraising days at work.
Near Boxford, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Boxford, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Where the van can park in Boxford
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Boxford questions
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Boxford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
What affects the price in Boxford
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- The day of the week
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
