How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hurstbourne Tarrant
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for a monthly Fish Friday and staff appreciation days.
For farms and rural sites near Hurstbourne Tarrant, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What happens on the day
There’s 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. Lunchtime bookings in Hurstbourne Tarrant are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

How long does set-up take?

What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
