About our corporate fish and chip catering in Calcott
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Typical bookings include team away days and customer days, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Calcott, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Where the van can park in Calcott
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send round an allergy question
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Calcott, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

About the food
Mushy peas
