Corporate fish and chip catering in Old Hawkinge, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include charity and fundraising days at work and friday lunch treats, with mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Old Hawkinge, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
