Corporate fish and chip catering in Marley
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Marley
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and celebrating a big win, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Marley, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer events after work in Marley have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
