How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Shabbington
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For customer days and staff appreciation days, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Shabbington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

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.
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.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Lunchtime staff treats in Shabbington are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
