About our corporate fish and chip catering in Selsfield Common
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We are frequently asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and staff appreciation days, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Selsfield Common, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
