Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Wannock
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and thank-you lunches for the team.
Rural businesses around Wannock can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a staff lunch in Wannock, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Wannock: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Wannock from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Give us break and shift times
- Have a back-up for special diets
When service is finished, we pack up.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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.
