About our corporate fish and chip catering in Orchard Leigh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater open days and fish Friday treats, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Orchard Leigh, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For an end-of-day event in Orchard Leigh, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Something for staff to gather round
- A quote that spells everything out
- All the chip-shop extras
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
We can serve each shift in turn.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

What paperwork do you provide?
