Corporate fish and chip catering in Kemsley Street, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. For friday lunch treats and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
At country workplaces around Kemsley Street, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. For a staff lunch in Kemsley Street, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
