A fish and chip van or other catering?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.
