How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Maypole
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and warehouse, depot and site teams, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Around Maypole, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask facilities about access
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Maypole, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
