Corporate fish and chip catering in Foulford, cooked to order
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Whether it’s retirement and leaving lunches and workplace fundraising days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Foulford, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Questions from Foulford
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Foulford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Share the shift pattern
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
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. A lunch-break van visit in Foulford is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:05pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
