Corporate fish and chip catering for Langley events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Langley, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and warehouse, depot and site teams.
Near Langley, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check with facilities where the van can park
Put bins near the hatch.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book
