Corporate fish and chip catering in Chalton, fried fresh
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Typical bookings include charity days and project milestones, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Chalton, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Step by step
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Lunchtime bookings in Chalton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Have a back-up for special diets
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. 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.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
