About our corporate fish and chip catering in Knapp
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Whether it is customer days and charity and fundraising days at work, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Knapp, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. After-work summer events in Knapp have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Put allergy details in writing
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
