Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Blacknest
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Whether it is staff appreciation days and charity days, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.

How it works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Lunchtime bookings in Blacknest are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

FAQs for Blacknest
What’s the nearest station to Blacknest?
The closest is Sunningdale station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Blacknest?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Blacknest?
We do. We serve events in Blacknest and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Where will the van go on our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
