Corporate fish and chip catering in Tortington, cooked to order
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement send-offs and project milestones, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Tortington can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book our van in Tortington
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

- Something for staff to gather round

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Tortington
Do you come out to small places like Tortington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
