A chip van near Westwell
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Westwell
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and project milestones.
Near Westwell, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Flag any coeliac staff
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
