Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Thorpe Green, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for friday lunch treats and retirement send-offs.
For farms and rural sites near Thorpe Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Collect allergies in advance

Is Thorpe Green too small for a chip van?

Can the van park in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
