Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Willesborough
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include customer days and end-of-project celebrations, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Teams near Willesborough often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
