Corporate fish and chip catering for Meresborough events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Meresborough
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. Typical bookings include warehouse, depot and site teams and celebrating a big win, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Meresborough, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. A lunch-break van visit in Meresborough is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Questions from Meresborough
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Foxburrow Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. Visitors love it.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Meresborough?
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Meresborough book the van for occasions like:
- Friday lunch treats
- Shift teams at depots and warehouses
- Staff thank-you lunches
- Open days and customer events
Meresborough is about 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What your quote should include
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How many hours the van serves
- Any minimum charge
- What they can offer for dietary needs
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
