About our corporate fish and chip catering in Elmstone
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for charity days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Near Elmstone, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Perfect for your staff event in Elmstone
There is nothing to book but the van, so it’s easy to organise.

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.
