Corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Hardres, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. We’re often asked to cater leaving dos and fish Friday treats, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Lower Hardres, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
