Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Compton
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Whether it’s a monthly Fish Friday and charity and fundraising days at work, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Compton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Something for staff to gather round
- No surprises in your quote
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
