Corporate fish and chip catering in Bladon
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Bladon
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Whether it is lunch for site crews and fish Friday treats, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Bladon, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events after work in Bladon have light until about 9:30pm; in late May, sunset is around 9:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bladon
How far is Bladon from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Bladon?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Consider a pre-order list
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
