How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Milstead
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for staff appreciation days and celebrating a big win.
Near Milstead, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime staff treats in Milstead are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
