Corporate fish and chip catering in Upton, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and charity days.
At country workplaces around Upton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 typically the easier option.

Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. After-work summer events in Upton have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
