About our corporate fish and chip catering in Seal
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and thank-you lunches for the team, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Seal, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Lunchtime staff treats in Seal are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Seal: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Seal?
Bat & Ball station, about 1.1 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Seal?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Share the shift pattern
Send a message round when the van opens.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. 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.
