The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Upperton
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Whether it’s retirement and leaving lunches and thank-you lunches for the team, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Upperton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Upperton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Upperton?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
