How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Up Nately
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Typical bookings include summer team days and leaving dos, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Up Nately can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. After-work summer events in Up Nately have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
