Corporate fish and chip catering for Pested events
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Pested
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We’re often asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and retirement send-offs, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Pested, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
