About our corporate fish and chip catering in Bucknell
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Whether it’s friday lunch treats and warehouse, depot and site teams, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Near Bucknell, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Send round an allergy question
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing
We can serve each shift in turn.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Where the van can park in Bucknell
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bucknell
Do you come out to small places like Bucknell?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Bucknell?
The closest is Bicester North station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Where will the van go on our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A lunch-break van visit in Bucknell is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
