About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hill Head
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater celebrating a big win and friday lunch treats.
Near Hill Head, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime bookings in Hill Head are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
