Corporate fish and chip catering in Rhodes Minnis, 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. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for leaving dos and charity and fundraising days at work.
Rural businesses around Rhodes Minnis can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
