How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Sunningwell
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and lunch for site crews, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Sunningwell can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What affects the price in Sunningwell
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are usually cold. A van serves hot food to order. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- All the chip-shop extras
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Share the shift pattern
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
