Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Tonge
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include leaving dos and team away days, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Tonge, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. A lunch-break van visit in Tonge is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
