Corporate fish and chip catering for Grove Hill events

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Grove Hill

Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. Typical bookings include project milestones and staff thank-you lunches, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

At country workplaces around Grove Hill, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Choosing a fish and chip van

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Sausage and chips

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

The process

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For an end-of-day event in Grove Hill, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Make sure the van can get in

Grove Hill: your questions answered

Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Do you come out to small places like Grove Hill?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Do you have documents for our site?

Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
