Corporate fish and chip catering in Sparsholt
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Sparsholt
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. For open days and customer events and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Sparsholt, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Can you come onto our site?
Generally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
