About our corporate fish and chip catering in Balscote
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. For workplace fundraising days and fish Friday treats, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Balscote, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Balscote
What’s the nearest station to Balscote?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Is Balscote too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
Send a message round when the van opens.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
