About our corporate fish and chip catering in The Pound

A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater fish Friday treats and celebrating a big win.

For farms and rural sites near The Pound, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A short walk from the party

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

A chip van compared with other options

Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Why book our van in The Pound

  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Share the shift pattern
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for

Put bins near the hatch.

Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • How long we serve
  • The date and time of year
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • How many people are eating

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Details that help

These details help us quote quickly:

  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Where the event is
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

Step by step

Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For an end-of-day event in The Pound, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

The Pound: your questions answered

Could you trade in Ashburnham Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.

How far is The Pound from London?

About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.

Do you do customer events and open days?

We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

What can staff choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
