Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Wexham Street
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We’re often asked to cater open days and customer events and retirement send-offs, with mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Wexham Street, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
