Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask staff to pre-order
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Simpson, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement send-offs and staff thank-you lunches.
Rural businesses around Simpson can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- Numbers
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Simpson, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
