Corporate fish and chip catering in Goddard's Green

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff appreciation days and open days.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

How to compare vans

How it works

We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A lunch-break van visit in Goddard's Green is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Make sure the van can get in
