A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Chestfield?

- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How allergens are handled

Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Something for staff to gather round
- No surprises in your quote

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Lunchtime bookings in Chestfield are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
It’s 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.
