About our corporate fish and chip catering in Pilley

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Pilley is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
