Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Bodicote
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Whether it’s end-of-project celebrations and a monthly Fish Friday, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Around Bodicote, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot near your staff
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

The closest is Banbury station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Could you trade in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
How does payment work for businesses?

How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. 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 Bodicote, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:30pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
