Corporate fish and chip catering for Newdigate events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Newdigate
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. We’re often asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and a monthly Fish Friday, with mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Newdigate can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before booking
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
