How corporate fish and chip catering works in Wokingham
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and open days and customer events.
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Cost
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Reading: Among the historic houses close to Reading are Mapledurham House (3.6 miles north-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. Being near the A4 and A33 makes Reading a simple run for the van. After-work summer events in Reading have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

Why a fish and chip van works
It is hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.

- Retirement send-offs
- Thank-you lunches for the team
- Shift teams at depots and warehouses
- Summer staff parties
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
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. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your staff
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Wokingham: your questions answered
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
