Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Crockenhill
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Whether it’s friday lunch treats and open days, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Rural businesses around Crockenhill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
