Our booking checklist

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Lunsford's Cross

The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for workplace fundraising days and staff appreciation days.

Near Lunsford's Cross, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How the day works

The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. After-work summer events in Lunsford's Cross have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning help

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How far we travel
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Parking and the way in

Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Your date and serving time
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.

Lunsford's Cross questions

Could you trade in Highwoods?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.

Do you come out to small places like Lunsford's Cross?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.

How fast is service?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Do you bring everything you need?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
