Corporate fish and chip catering in Dallington, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include summer team days and charity and fundraising days at work, with mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Dallington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
We can serve each shift in turn.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Questions from Dallington
Do you come out to small places like Dallington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Dallington close to London?
About 43 miles from central London.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
A chip van compared with other options
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
