Corporate fish and chip catering in Hartley, fried fresh
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and lunch for site crews, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Teams near Hartley often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

How it works

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive

- Have a level parking spot ready
