How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Frithend
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We’re frequently asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and summer team days, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Frithend can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In Frithend, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand

Other occasions in Frithend
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
