About our corporate fish and chip catering in Coolham
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater workplace fundraising days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Near Coolham, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
