A chip van near Broughton
Corporate fish and chip catering in Broughton, cooked to order
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff thank-you lunches, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Broughton, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. After-work summer events in Broughton have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Send round an allergy question
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
