About our corporate fish and chip catering in Ossemsley
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for summer staff parties and retirement send-offs.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A lunch-break van visit in Ossemsley is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:05pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help

- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
