Corporate fish and chip catering in Lane End, cooked to order
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. For team away days and open days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Lane End, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a staff lunch in Lane End, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Lane End: your questions answered
Is Lane End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Lane End close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you cover Lane End?
We do. Lane End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
