Corporate fish and chip catering in Hawley, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We are often asked to cater summer staff parties and staff appreciation days, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Hawley, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
