What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Shalford, fried fresh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. For charity and fundraising days at work and retirement send-offs, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Shalford, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.
What affects the price in Shalford
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your staff
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Shalford, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Shalford has its own station: Shalford station.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
