About our corporate fish and chip catering in Broad Oak
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for thank-you lunches for the team and summer staff parties.
At country workplaces around Broad Oak, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Lunchtime bookings in Broad Oak are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What affects the price in Broad Oak
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Can we pay by invoice?
