Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Upper Burgate
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and charity and fundraising days at work.
At country workplaces around Upper Burgate, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In Upper Burgate, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
