How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Cooling
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. We are often asked to cater team away days and friday lunch treats, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Cooling can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. For a staff lunch in Cooling, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
