Corporate fish and chip catering in Colliers Green, fried fresh
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Whether it’s summer team days and thank-you lunches for the team, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Near Colliers Green, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In Colliers Green, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

FAQs for Colliers Green
Could you trade in The Gill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Colliers Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Colliers Green
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Colliers Green?
