Corporate fish and chip catering in Kingsmead, fried fresh
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For retirement send-offs and summer staff parties, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Kingsmead, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
When service is finished, we pack up.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Kingsmead, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
