Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Picketts Lock
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Whether it’s open days and customer events and warehouse, depot and site teams, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
For offices in and around Picketts Lock, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams typically need to approve the van, and access needs planning. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a staff lunch in Picketts Lock, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
