Corporate fish and chip catering in Cheeseman's Green
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Cheeseman's Green
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. Whether it is fish Friday treats and charity days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Cheeseman's Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Share the shift pattern
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
