About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hickmans Green
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for team away days and staff appreciation days.
Rural businesses around Hickmans Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

- Allergen information for each item
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- The deposit and payment dates
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. After-work summer events in Hickmans Green have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
