Corporate fish and chip catering in Broad Ford, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and retirement send-offs.
For farms and rural sites near Broad Ford, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. For a staff lunch in Broad Ford, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
