About our corporate fish and chip catering in Fingest
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and summer team days, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Fingest, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your staff
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Fingest, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
