Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Winford
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for project milestones and summer staff parties.
At country workplaces around Winford, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Winford: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Winford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
