Our booking checklist

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Chilswell

Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for leaving dos and celebrating a big win.

Near Chilswell, 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Why book our van in Chilswell

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Everything cooked to order at your event

Read how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.

What the van needs

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Sausage and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Mushy peas

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Give us break and shift times
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically

Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

For planners, venues and organisers

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

How the day works

A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Lunchtime staff treats in Chilswell are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

How to prepare

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat
