Fresh fish and chips in Mayes Green
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Mayes Green
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for shift teams at depots and warehouses and summer staff parties.
Rural businesses around Mayes Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
