Fresh fish and chips in Phoenix Green
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Phoenix Green
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Whether it is shift teams at depots and warehouses and project milestones, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
At country workplaces around Phoenix Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
A chip van compared with other options
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will check the date and send a price.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
We can serve each shift in turn.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. After-work summer events in Phoenix Green have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your staff
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
