Corporate fish and chip catering in Busbridge, cooked to order

Rural businesses around Busbridge can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. A lunch-break van visit in Busbridge is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Busbridge questions
Can the van park in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Busbridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
