About our corporate fish and chip catering in Burghclere

Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For celebrating a big win and retirement send-offs, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.

Staff lunches in Burghclere: access and travel

Burghclere is about 4 miles south of Newbury, in West Berkshire.

Central London is about 54 miles from Burghclere, and we cover it as standard. Within reach of Burghclere are historic houses such as Highclere Castle (1.9 miles south-west) and Stargroves (3.5 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for vehicles.

We also bring the van to staff events in Earlstone Common (1 mile north-east), Burghclere Common (1 mile north), Newtown Common (1 mile north), Penwood (2 miles west) and Wash Water (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newbury (4 miles north), Thatcham (5 miles north-east), Burghfield Common (12 miles east), Speenhamland (4 miles north), Hungerford (9 miles north-west) and Calcot (14 miles north-east).

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Summer events after work in Burghclere have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Organising for someone else?

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Burghclere? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

A closer look at the menu

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
