How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Stoke
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 people still talk about it the following week. We are frequently asked to cater friday lunch treats and charity days, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Stoke, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Numbers

Common questions in Stoke
Do you come out to small places like Stoke?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Stoke close to London?
About 31 miles from central London.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
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 to keep the queue moving.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Consider a pre-order list
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
