About our corporate fish and chip catering in Ditton
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and celebrating a big win.
Near Ditton, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Ditton questions
Is Ditton close to London?

Could you trade in Ditton Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What will facilities need from you?

How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where will the van go on our site?
Typically, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
