About our corporate fish and chip catering in Mid Lavant
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch for site crews and summer staff parties.
Near Mid Lavant, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Mid Lavant, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Share the shift pattern
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.

Planning the van’s spot

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
