Corporate fish and chip catering in Goodnestone, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater charity days and warehouse, depot and site teams, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
At country workplaces around Goodnestone, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer events after work in Goodnestone have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Planning the van’s spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before you book
- Something for staff to gather round

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
