A chip van near Murston
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Murston
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. Whether it is summer team days and retirement and leaving lunches, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Teams near Murston often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Events we cater in Murston
It suits shift teams, because service can be planned in waves.

What your quote should include

- Whether travel is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Step by step
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Murston, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
