About our corporate fish and chip catering in Risinghurst
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for warehouse, depot and site teams and thank-you lunches for the team.
Around Risinghurst, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
