How our corporate fish and chip catering works in West Hougham
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Typical bookings include warehouse, depot and site teams and open days and customer events, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near West Hougham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Give us break and shift times
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
