Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Herne Common
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include retirement send-offs and open days and customer events, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Herne Common, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
