Corporate fish and chip catering for Swalecliffe events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Swalecliffe, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and shift teams at depots and warehouses, with mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Teams near Swalecliffe frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
