Fresh fish and chips in Staplestreet
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Staplestreet
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and a monthly Fish Friday, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
At country workplaces around Staplestreet, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Send a message round when the van opens.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Staplestreet: your questions answered
Is Staplestreet too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Staplestreet?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
