Book the van in Congelow
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Congelow
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. Whether it is lunch for site crews and open days, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Congelow, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Congelow is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
