Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically

- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Sandy Cross
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We are frequently asked to cater workplace fundraising days and fish Friday treats, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Sandy Cross, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Sandy Cross is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What else we do in Sandy Cross
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Occasions we serve in Sandy Cross
It suits shift teams, with service timed to each break.
