Planning for dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically

We can serve each shift in turn.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Icklesham, cooked to order

A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for team away days and staff thank-you lunches.

Near Icklesham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

What happens on the day

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Icklesham, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
