A chip van near Ram Lane
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ram Lane
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. We are frequently asked to cater friday lunch treats and charity days, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Ram Lane, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Ram Lane are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
For event organisers in Ram Lane
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
- A menu almost everyone likes
