Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Cookley Green
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater customer days and leaving dos.
Near Cookley Green, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. Lunchtime bookings in Cookley Green are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
