How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Sevington
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and workplace fundraising days, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural businesses around Sevington can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Consider a pre-order list
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Sevington, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What affects the price in Sevington
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
