Fresh fish and chips in Bagnor

Corporate fish and chip catering in Bagnor, cooked to order

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for shift teams at depots and warehouses and celebrating a big win.

For farms and rural sites near Bagnor, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How the day works

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Bagnor is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.

  1. Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What affects the price in Bagnor

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Any minimum charge
  • The date and time of year
  • The length of service

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Where the van would park
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The address or venue name

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Bagnor questions

Is Bagnor close to London?

About 54 miles from central London.

What’s the nearest station to Bagnor?

Newbury station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What about staff who do not eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Where will the van go on our site?

Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

Where do you take the van?

We cover London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.

What the van needs

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

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 Bagnor

  • Sausage and chips
  • Haddock and chips

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Share the shift pattern
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Send round an allergy question

Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

15 questions to ask before booking

Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
