Corporate fish and chip catering in Swanton, cooked to order

It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We’re often asked to cater friday lunch treats and summer staff parties, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.

At country workplaces around Swanton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Send round an allergy question

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Step by step

You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Swanton, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • How many people are eating
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Access and parking
  • The day of the week

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Where the event is
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • A clear quote before you book
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • A short walk from the party
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
