Corporate fish and chip catering in Hill Grove
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Hill Grove, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include charity and fundraising days at work and customer days, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Hill Grove, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
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. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
