Corporate fish and chip catering in Upton, cooked to order
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it’s thank-you lunches for the team and retirement and leaving lunches, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Around Upton, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What happens on the day

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
