Corporate fish and chip catering in Waterham, fried fresh
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. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and summer staff parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Waterham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. A lunch-break van visit in Waterham is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
