About our corporate fish and chip catering in Burkham
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and retirement send-offs, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Burkham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For an end-of-day event in Burkham, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
