Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Swanbourne
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and thank-you lunches for the team.
Near Swanbourne, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
