How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Cudworth
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For shift teams at depots and warehouses and retirement and leaving lunches, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Cudworth can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. After-work summer events in Cudworth have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

A chip van compared with other options
