Corporate fish and chip catering in Fair Oak, fried fresh

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

Lunchtime bookings in Fair Oak are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.

- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
