Corporate fish and chip catering in Lynsted, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We’re often asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and open days, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Lynsted, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. For a staff lunch in Lynsted, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
