Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Tetsworth
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it is end-of-project celebrations and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Tetsworth can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask facilities about access
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
