Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Cogges
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater workplace fundraising days and friday lunch treats.
Teams near Cogges often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Lunchtime staff treats in Cogges are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Cogges questions
What’s the nearest station to Cogges?
Finstock station, about 4.8 miles north of the centre.
Is Cogges close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
