Corporate fish and chip catering in Tokers Green
Corporate fish and chip catering in Tokers Green, cooked to order
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch for site crews and team away days.
For farms and rural sites near Tokers Green, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
There’s 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.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. After-work summer events in Tokers Green have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
