Corporate fish and chip catering for Weddington events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Weddington

Rural businesses around Weddington can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help

- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 normally simpler.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
