Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Hatherden
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and charity and fundraising days at work.
Rural businesses around Hatherden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a staff lunch in Hatherden, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 normally simpler.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Send round an allergy question
- Check with facilities where the van can park

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
