Corporate fish and chip catering in South Gorley
Food your guests will love

About our corporate fish and chip catering in South Gorley
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch for site crews and retirement send-offs.
Rural businesses around South Gorley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Put bins near the hatch.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. For a staff lunch in South Gorley, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us

- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
