How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Sleaford
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for thank-you lunches for the team and charity days.
At country workplaces around Sleaford, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

- What the price includes, item by item
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- VAT, if it applies
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. A lunch-break van visit in Sleaford is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
