Corporate fish and chip catering in Penny Pot, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for warehouse, depot and site teams and workplace fundraising days.
Rural businesses around Penny Pot can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

- Numbers

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share the shift pattern
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
