Planning an event in Uckfield?

Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Uckfield

Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and thank-you lunches for the team.

Workplaces in Uckfield range from offices to industrial units. The van brings lunch to the team. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
