Corporate fish and chip catering for Thorley Street events
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Thorley Street
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We’re often asked to cater charity days and retirement and leaving lunches, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Thorley Street, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Thorley Street: your questions answered
Is Thorley Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Thorley Street?
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine.

Looking after everyone

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

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
