Fresh fish and chips in Hardwick
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hardwick
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We are often asked to cater leaving dos and workplace fundraising days, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Hardwick can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a staff lunch in Hardwick, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in
