How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Steephill
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 it gets people talking. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for summer staff parties and friday lunch treats.
Rural businesses around Steephill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Steephill: your questions answered
Is Steephill 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 Steephill?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
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 photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

- Quick service from the hatch
