About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hawkenbury
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for charity and fundraising days at work and open days and customer events.
For farms and rural sites near Hawkenbury, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hawkenbury?

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
