Corporate fish and chip catering in Bishop's Green, fried fresh

We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. Whether it’s workplace fundraising days and warehouse, depot and site teams, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.

For farms and rural sites near Bishop's Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Bishop's Green: your questions answered

Could you trade in New Greenham Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

How far is Bishop's Green from London?

Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What’s on the menu?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Do you come to Bishop's Green?

We do. Bishop's Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

The process

We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a staff lunch in Bishop's Green, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

What a fish and chip van costs

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Access and parking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Cod, haddock or both

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Where the event is
  • Your date and serving time

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Send round an allergy question

When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Events we cater in Bishop's Green

It does not need a meeting room, a kitchen or a restaurant booking, so it is easy to organise.

Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

  • Open days
  • Staff appreciation days
  • Charity days
  • Retirement and leaving lunches

Among the historic houses close to Bishop's Green are Shaw House (3.6 miles north-west) and Highclere Castle (4.3 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles.

Comparing caterers

  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • What they can offer for dietary needs
  • What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
  • When payment is due

A closer look at the menu

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.

A chip van compared with other options

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

What you get with us

  • A clear quote before you book
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • Classic food your staff already know
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
