Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Northway
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for workplace fundraising days and lunch for site crews.
Around Northway, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Looking after everyone

- Find out what documents the site needs
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the shift pattern
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Bury Knowle Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Where will the van go on our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
