Corporate fish and chip catering in Coldred, cooked to order
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater leaving dos and lunch for site crews, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Coldred, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Coldred, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Where the van can park in Coldred
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:

- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
