Corporate fish and chip catering in Ramsdell, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. For project milestones and a monthly Fish Friday, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Ramsdell can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send round an allergy question
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Share the shift pattern
Put bins near the hatch.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A lunch-break van visit in Ramsdell is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Do you come out to small places like Ramsdell?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
