About our corporate fish and chip catering in Snowdown
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For staff thank-you lunches and charity days, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Snowdown can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask facilities about access
- Collect allergies in advance
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. After-work summer events in Snowdown have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
