How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Highfield
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. Whether it’s open days and leaving dos, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
Around Highfield, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Find out what documents the site needs
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Share the shift pattern
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your staff
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
