Corporate fish and chip catering in Colwell, 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 serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and summer staff parties.
Near Colwell, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
For event organisers in Colwell
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
For somewhere as remote as Colwell, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
