Corporate fish and chip catering in Westwell Leacon
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Westwell Leacon
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We’re frequently asked to cater lunch for site crews and retirement and leaving lunches, with pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Westwell Leacon, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us break and shift times
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Consider a pre-order list
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
