Corporate fish and chip catering in Cane End
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Events in Cane End and across Reading
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Hot food handed straight over

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Cane End

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
FAQs for Cane End
How far is Cane End from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Cane End?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Reading. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer events after work in Cane End have light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

For event organisers in Cane End
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Cane End? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
