Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in North Holmwood
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. Whether it’s retirement send-offs and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Work events near North Holmwood might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event in North Holmwood. For an end-of-day event in North Holmwood, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in North Holmwood
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Ask facilities about access
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
