How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Nettlestead
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We’re frequently asked to cater charity days and fish Friday treats, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Nettlestead, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Still finalising the details? That’s 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?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Confirm allergies by email
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime bookings in Nettlestead are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards usually work well.
