About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Sholden Meadows
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for project milestones and charity days.
Near Sholden Meadows, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
