Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ibworth
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. For summer team days and friday lunch treats, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural businesses around Ibworth can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
FAQs for Ibworth
Is Ibworth close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Ibworth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
