A chip van near Little London
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Little London, cooked to order
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and end-of-project celebrations.
For farms and rural sites near Little London, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
