Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Kempe's Corner
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We’re often asked to cater fish Friday treats and celebrating a big win, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Kempe's Corner can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us break and shift times
- Consider a pre-order list
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in Kempe's Corner are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
