Corporate fish and chip catering in Sandy Cross

Around Sandy Cross, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Sandy Cross, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Sandy Cross
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
