How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Istead Rise
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for summer team days and thank-you lunches for the team.
Rural businesses around Istead Rise can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What affects the price in Istead Rise
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
