Fresh fish and chips in Stoke
Corporate fish and chip catering in Stoke, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and customer events and thank-you lunches for the team, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Stoke, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
We can serve each shift in turn.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime bookings in Stoke are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

About the food
Haddock and chips

Mushy peas
