Corporate fish and chip catering in Ratley, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for charity days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
At country workplaces around Ratley, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
