Corporate fish and chip catering for Brook events
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a staff lunch in Brook, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Brook
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer team days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Rural businesses around Brook can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
