Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Catmore
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
For farms and rural sites near Catmore, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Planning a team lunch in Catmore
Catmore is about 6 miles south-east of Wantage, in West Berkshire. People in Catmore book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Catmore is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Catmore to Oxford (about 17 miles away).
With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
We take the van to staff events all over RG20. Other places close to Catmore we cover include Farnborough (2 miles north-west), Brightwalton (2 miles west), Stanmore (2 miles south-east), Brightwalton Green (2 miles south-west) and West Ilsley (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Newbury (8 miles south), Thatcham (9 miles south-east), Burghfield Common (15 miles south-east), Speenhamland (8 miles south), Hungerford (10 miles south-west) and Calcot (14 miles south-east).
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Catmore
Is Catmore too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can the van come to Catmore?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Catmore and the rest of West Berkshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime bookings in Catmore are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
