Corporate fish and chip catering for Woodley events
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Confirm allergies by email

- Send round an allergy question
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
