Corporate fish and chip catering in Hardwick, fried fresh
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch for site crews and open days and customer events.
At country workplaces around Hardwick, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff normally gather round the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime bookings in Hardwick are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Takeaway run or book a 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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head usually 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
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Do you come out to small places like Hardwick?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
