The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Upper Hale
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for project milestones and summer team days.
Work events near Upper Hale might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime staff treats in Upper Hale are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Collect allergies in advance
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
