Corporate fish and chip catering in Michelmersh, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it is a monthly Fish Friday and charity days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
Rural businesses around Michelmersh can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
