Corporate fish and chip catering in Aldermaston, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include charity days and thank-you lunches for the team, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Aldermaston, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For an end-of-day event in Aldermaston, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Aldermaston
Is Aldermaston too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
