How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Rolvenden Layne
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for summer team days and charity days.
For farms and rural sites near Rolvenden Layne, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. For an end-of-day event in Rolvenden Layne, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
