How we price a fish and chip van for your team
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Rockford
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and charity and fundraising days at work.
Near Rockford, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What else we do in Rockford
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A lunch-break van visit in Rockford is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:05pm in December.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A van that becomes part of the event
