Corporate fish and chip catering in St John's, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. Whether it’s a monthly Fish Friday and summer team days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Work events near St John's might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Share the shift pattern
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask facilities about access
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in St John's
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book our van in St John's

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
