About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Burgh Heath
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include summer team days and open days, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Burgh Heath can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
