About our corporate fish and chip catering in Southington
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and retirement send-offs, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Southington can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a thank-you that lands, a chip van is hard to beat. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before you book
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
