A chip van near Chitty
Corporate fish and chip catering in Chitty, fried fresh
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it is team away days and customer days, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Chitty, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime staff treats in Chitty are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
