Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Upham
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it is leaving dos and summer staff parties, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Upham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Upham?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Something for staff to gather round

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Upham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Upham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Upham from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a staff lunch in Upham, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
