Corporate fish and chip catering in Shilton
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. Lunchtime staff treats in Shilton are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
