Book the van in Overton
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Overton, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater team away days and staff appreciation days.
For businesses around Overton, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
