Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need

- Ask facilities about access
After the last group, we pack up.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Heart's Delight
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for staff thank-you lunches and leaving dos.
At country workplaces around Heart's Delight, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
