Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Harestock
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it is open days and customer events and retirement send-offs, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Around Harestock, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- The number of meals
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Harestock, and we will check the date and send a price.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Harestock is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
