For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Shipley Bridge? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Shipley Bridge, cooked to order
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. Whether it is warehouse, depot and site teams and workplace fundraising days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
For farms and rural sites near Shipley Bridge, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.

Common questions in Shipley Bridge

Do you come out to small places like Shipley Bridge?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
