About our corporate fish and chip catering in Pedlinge
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater workplace fundraising days and staff thank-you lunches, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Pedlinge, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

FAQs for Pedlinge
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park in Brockhill Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time

Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff typically gather round the hatch once service starts. For an end-of-day event in Pedlinge, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
