Corporate fish and chip catering in Guston, fried fresh
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for team away days and project milestones.
Near Guston, workplaces can be far from shops, 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.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Space, access and the venue

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Lunchtime bookings in Guston are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
