Corporate fish and chip catering in Speed Gate, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it is customer days and staff appreciation days, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Speed Gate, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Give us break and shift times
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Speed Gate
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Which station is closest to Speed Gate?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
