Fresh fish and chips in Horns Green
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Horns Green
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot whether you are first or last in the queue. Whether it is leaving dos and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Rural businesses around Horns 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.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the shift pattern
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
