About our corporate fish and chip catering in Yelsted
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for workplace fundraising days and thank-you lunches for the team.
Rural businesses around Yelsted can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips

- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
