Corporate fish and chip catering in Cold Harbour, fried fresh

Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For open days and customer events and retirement send-offs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.

At country workplaces around Cold Harbour, 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.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Takeaway run or book a van?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

A chip van compared with other options

Corporate buffets are normally cold. A van serves hot food to order. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • No kitchen needed
  • A van that becomes part of the event

FAQs for Cold Harbour

Is Cold Harbour too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What’s the nearest station to Cold Harbour?

The closest is Wargrave station, roughly 3.3 miles away.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Where will the van go on our site?

Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

When do you arrive?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

What can staff choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Send round an allergy question
  • Find out what documents the site needs
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Send allergies to us in writing

For shift teams, we serve in waves.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

The process

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. Lunchtime staff treats in Cold Harbour are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

Ask for a quote

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
