How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Wigley
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and celebrating a big win, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Wigley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

What affects the price in Wigley
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Give us break and shift times
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

Other occasions in Wigley
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Wigley? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
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.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
