How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Farthingloe
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for celebrating a big win and staff thank-you lunches.
For farms and rural sites near Farthingloe, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
A chip van compared with other options
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

For a staff lunch in Farthingloe, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Share the shift pattern
- Flag any coeliac staff
Put bins near the hatch.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
