Corporate fish and chip catering in Finberry
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Finberry
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and staff appreciation days, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Finberry, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Finberry, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in Finberry have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Finberry
How far is Finberry from London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Finberry?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Other occasions in Finberry
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Put allergy details in writing
- Consider a pre-order list
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Finberry?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
