Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Paynes Green, cooked to order
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and shift teams at depots and warehouses.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Service time
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
