Corporate fish and chip catering in Winnersh, fried fresh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. We’re often asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and shift teams at depots and warehouses, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Winnersh, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Winnersh? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
