Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in East Clandon
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for shift teams at depots and warehouses and celebrating a big win.
Rural businesses around East Clandon can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac staff
After the last group, we pack up.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
