How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Bury's Bank
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We are often asked to cater open days and staff appreciation days, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Bury's Bank, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Flag any coeliac staff
When service is finished, we pack up.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
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.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your staff
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
