Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Pickhurst
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. We are frequently asked to cater fish Friday treats and charity and fundraising days at work, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
