Corporate fish and chip catering in Cowesfield Gate, cooked to order
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. We’re frequently asked to cater a monthly Fish Friday and retirement send-offs, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Cowesfield Gate, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a staff lunch in Cowesfield Gate, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
