Corporate fish and chip catering for Matfield events
The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Matfield are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Matfield, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. We’re often asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and fish Friday treats, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Matfield, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
