A chip van near Knox Bridge
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Knox Bridge
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-project celebrations and retirement send-offs.
Rural businesses around Knox Bridge can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. Lunchtime staff treats in Knox Bridge are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Other occasions in Knox Bridge
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Share the shift pattern
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Send a message round when the van opens.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
