Corporate fish and chip catering in Tidworth
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Tidworth
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. We’re often asked to cater open days and project milestones, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Around Tidworth, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Check with facilities where the van can park
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
