Corporate fish and chip catering in Preston, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. For staff thank-you lunches and retirement and leaving lunches, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
In Preston, lunch breaks are often short, so we plan service to feed people fast. Let us know about access and security. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Where the van can park in Preston
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Preston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

- Have a back-up for special diets

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in Preston are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
