Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Riddlesdown
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it’s leaving dos and friday lunch treats, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In Riddlesdown, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
