Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ratton Village
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For charity days and retirement send-offs, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For businesses around Ratton Village, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Flag any coeliac staff
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
A chip van compared with other options
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?

- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
