Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Send round an allergy question
Put bins near the hatch.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Greengate
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For end-of-project celebrations and a monthly Fish Friday, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Around Greengate, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How it works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Greengate, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
