Corporate fish and chip catering for Twyford events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Twyford, 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 it gets people talking. For team away days and retirement send-offs, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
Around Twyford, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
What comes out of the fryer
