Corporate fish and chip catering for Wootton events
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Wootton, fried fresh
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We are often asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and retirement and leaving lunches, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Wootton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event in Wootton. For a staff lunch in Wootton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Planning help
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Wootton
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
