Corporate fish and chip catering in Sidlow, fried fresh
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater customer days and friday lunch treats.
For farms and rural sites near Sidlow, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Sidlow, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Sidlow, and we’ll check the date and send a price.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Check with facilities where the van can park
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Planning the van’s spot
