Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Mead End
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. We’re often asked to cater celebrating a big win and open days and customer events, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Mead End, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

FAQs for Mead End
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Mead End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
After the last group, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Quick service from the hatch
