Corporate fish and chip catering in Lyminster
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Lyminster, fried fresh
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for open days and warehouse, depot and site teams.
Rural businesses around Lyminster can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Share the shift pattern
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Common questions in Lyminster
Is Lyminster too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Summer events after work in Lyminster have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

For event organisers in Lyminster
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
