Corporate fish and chip catering for Upton events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Upton, fried fresh
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater open days and a monthly Fish Friday.
Around Upton, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are usually cold. A van serves hot food to order. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Upton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
