Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Lyminge
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater project milestones and staff thank-you lunches.
Near Lyminge, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For event organisers in Lyminge
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Lyminge are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
