How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Woodlands St Mary
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For retirement and leaving lunches and staff appreciation days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Woodlands St Mary, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. For an end-of-day event in Woodlands St Mary, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 9:00pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before you book
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A menu almost everyone likes
Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Share the shift pattern
Send a message round when the van opens.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
