DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Broadfield
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We are frequently asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and friday lunch treats, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Around Broadfield, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. 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 we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
