How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Upper Halling
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For workplace fundraising days and open days and customer events, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Upper Halling can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime staff treats in Upper Halling are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Upper Halling questions
Can the van park in Holborough Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Is Upper Halling too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
