If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Martin
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Whether it’s charity days and team away days, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural businesses around Martin can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Common questions in Martin
Do you come out to small places like Martin?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
