About our corporate fish and chip catering in Stansted
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For retirement send-offs and thank-you lunches for the team, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Stansted, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
FAQs for Stansted
Is Stansted too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Stansted close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where will the van go on our site?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. Visitors love it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
