Corporate fish and chip catering in Oare, cooked to order
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for friday lunch treats and end-of-project celebrations.
Rural businesses around Oare can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
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 generally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
