How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Clanfield
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Typical bookings include thank-you lunches for the team and lunch for site crews, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At country workplaces around Clanfield, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For an end-of-day event in Clanfield, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

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.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
