How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Winterbrook
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater team away days and fish Friday treats.
Rural businesses around Winterbrook can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. In Winterbrook, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
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.

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
