Corporate fish and chip catering in Bowsey Hill
Corporate fish and chip catering in Bowsey Hill, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Whether it is project milestones and charity and fundraising days at work, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Bowsey Hill, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask staff to pre-order
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Where the van can park in Bowsey Hill
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Bowsey Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Bowsey Hill?
The closest is Wargrave station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Bowsey Hill close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 is crisp.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Bowsey Hill is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Other occasions in Bowsey Hill
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
