Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Put allergy details in writing

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

Why us?

  • Classic food your staff already know
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

  • Any minimum charge

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Getting an accurate quote

  • Expected numbers
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Your date and serving time

How it works

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a staff lunch in Durfold Wood, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
