Corporate fish and chip catering in Normandy, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For open days and customer events and team away days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Normandy, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Where the van can park in Normandy
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Normandy, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
