Corporate fish and chip catering in Gilbert Street, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for warehouse, depot and site teams and celebrating a big win.
At country workplaces around Gilbert Street, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A clear quote before you book
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events after work in Gilbert Street have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
