About our corporate fish and chip catering in Islip
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Whether it’s retirement and leaving lunches and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Islip, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
