Corporate fish and chip catering in Hammer Bottom
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Consider a pre-order list
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hammer Bottom
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We are often asked to cater staff appreciation days and end-of-project celebrations, with pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Hammer Bottom, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
