About our corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Haysden
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We are frequently asked to cater fish Friday treats and charity days, with mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Lower Haysden 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, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For event organisers in Lower Haysden
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
