How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Payden Street
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and staff appreciation days.
For farms and rural sites near Payden Street, 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 service is quick once we’re up and running.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Share the shift pattern
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask facilities about access
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Payden Street, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
