A chip van near Mackney
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Mackney
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. For summer staff parties and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural businesses around Mackney can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
