Fresh fish and chips in Dormansland
Corporate fish and chip catering in Dormansland, fried fresh
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for thank-you lunches for the team and summer team days.
For farms and rural sites near Dormansland, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Dormansland, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
