Corporate fish and chip catering in Furzey Lodge, fried fresh
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. Whether it’s fish Friday treats and summer team days, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Furzey Lodge, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
