Corporate fish and chip catering for Firgo events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Firgo, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We are often asked to cater charity days and summer team days, with cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Firgo can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, 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 served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Common questions in Firgo
Is Firgo close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Firgo too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff to pre-order
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
