Corporate fish and chip catering in East Marden, fried fresh

A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Typical bookings include open days and charity days, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

For farms and rural sites near East Marden, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Should I sort the food myself?

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.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How it works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an end-of-day event in East Marden, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

How to prepare

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
