At your workplace
Staff reward lunches and family fun days
Many of our corporate bookings are lunches to thank the team. We often cater for engineering companies, where staff come out in their work uniforms, hi-vis and PPE. They queue at the van in the car park. Tell us your break times and we will plan the service so everyone is fed in the time you have.
Some companies hold a family fun day, more like a small fair, where staff bring their families along. Our children’s options make it easy to feed younger guests too.
Feeding a crowd
High volumes, served quickly
Narrow staff breaks are no problem with the right planning. We have served 171 guests in 43 minutes, 250 guests in 90 minutes and 163 chip butties in 23 minutes.
Our biggest day so far was 1,200 meals for one corporate client, served across three shifts, with 550 people in a single shift. Tell us your break times and numbers and we will plan the service so everyone is fed in the time you have.
Each meal is prepared with the same care as the last. Our state-of-the-art fryer lets us keep the pace up without cutting corners.
Our chicken, steak and fish options are Halal. Our veggie burger is suitable for vegans and we have gluten free options upon request.

Ocean View Catering helped support a corporate event and their service and quality of food was excellent. They were helpful and accommodating and we received positive feedback regarding their food and how quickly we managed to serve approximately 100 guests in an hour. They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend for future events.

They stepped in when one of the other booked catering vans were late, and saved the day, feeding far more than we originally asked for – couldn’t have managed without them! Really generous size portions, and rave reviews from our staff.

The van came to our workplace to feed everyone. 80 staff in under an hour. Excellent communication, great price. The food was amazing and everyone loved it. Will definitely arrange to do again.

My experience booking with OceanView Catering was excellent! They came to our offices and served the most amazing selection of foods (the home made gravy was AMAZING!) The price and the communication in organising the event was great and made it such an easy experience. We will definitely be using them again for future events. Thank you

Questions
Corporate catering questions
How much does corporate catering cost?
£12 per person for our Fish and Chip Van or Gourmet Burgers menu and £10 per person for Loaded Fries. A £50 booking fee secures the date and a £650 minimum spend applies on the day.
Can you feed our staff in a short break?
Yes, with the right planning. We regularly serve more than 150 guests an hour. We have served 171 guests in 43 minutes and 250 in 90 minutes. Tell us your break times and numbers when you enquire and we will plan the service around them.
Do our guests need to pre-order?
Usually not. Guests choose at the hatch on the day, which keeps things simple for you. If your timings are tight, such as a show interval or a short work break, a pre-order list helps us serve even faster. You are also welcome to limit the choice to a few favourites from your menu.
How do we make sure only our guests are served?
At events in open or public spaces, you can give each guest a token, such as a raffle ticket or a poker chip. Guests hand their token in at the hatch. Tokens are provided by you as the host.
Can you cater at our workplace?
We cater at workplaces, venues and event spaces within about 35 miles of Swadlincote. Tell us about your site and we will check access for the van.
What do you serve the food in?
Our trays are recyclable and our wooden knives and forks are compostable. Our sauces come in individual sachets, which we have used since COVID.
Do you take the rubbish away?
Since COVID, we no longer take waste away on the van. Please make sure there are bins for the trays, cutlery and sachets. The trays are recyclable and empty sachets go in general waste.
Can you send our venue your compliance documents?
Yes. Our risk assessments, gas safety certificates, insurance details and any other compliance documents your venue needs are available on request. We also hold the top food hygiene rating of 5 (very good).
Are you insured?
Yes. We hold £5 million public liability insurance and £5 million products liability insurance. A copy of our insurance certificate is available on request.
Do you send an invoice?
Yes. The invoice will be sent out 28 days before the event and the final payment is required 14 days prior to the event. Payment is by bank transfer. We can also send you a card payment link. Payments made with a company card carry a charge at our card processor’s rate.
