Corporate fish and chip catering in Gravel Castle, cooked to order
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. We are frequently asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and leaving dos, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural businesses around Gravel Castle can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Organising a club, school or community event in Gravel Castle? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask facilities about access
- Send round an allergy question
After the last group, we pack up.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
