A chip van near Easton
Corporate fish and chip catering in Easton, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. For open days and project milestones, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Easton, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
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.
What else we do in Easton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
What affects the price in Easton
These are the factors that matter most:
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.

Before we arrive
