Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Mattingley
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Whether it’s leaving dos and a monthly Fish Friday, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Mattingley, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
