About our corporate fish and chip catering in West Studdal
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include retirement and leaving lunches and charity days, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around West Studdal, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. After-work summer events in West Studdal have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us break and shift times
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
