Fresh fish and chips in High Halstow
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in High Halstow
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include lunch for site crews and retirement send-offs, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around High Halstow can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. In High Halstow, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day

Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
