How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Monk's Gate
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For friday lunch treats and project milestones, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Monk's Gate, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
