Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Deadwater

Work events near Deadwater might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A chip van suits all of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. For a staff lunch in Deadwater, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
