Corporate fish and chip catering in Hannington, cooked to order
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. For open days and end-of-project celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Hannington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Hannington: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hannington?
The closest is Overton station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is Hannington close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities about access
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Put bins near the hatch.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A lunch-break van visit in Hannington is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
