Corporate fish and chip catering for Sandling events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Sandling, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We’re frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and retirement send-offs, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Sandling, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A spot near your staff
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Something for staff to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over
