How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Upper Froyle
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For staff appreciation days and friday lunch treats, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Upper Froyle can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips

How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. After-work summer events in Upper Froyle have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 generally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
