DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Sulhamstead Abbots
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We are often asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and project milestones, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Sulhamstead Abbots, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:

- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service

These details help us quote quickly:
- The venue or postcode

- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
