How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Charndon

The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include a monthly Fish Friday and team away days, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.

For farms and rural sites near Charndon, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planning the van’s spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Popular choices

  • Staff lunches
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

What you get with us

  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm
  • We cover Charndon and the whole of Oxfordshire

See our prices page or what a fish and chip van costs.

Diets, allergies and planning

Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Have a back-up for special diets

After the last group, we pack up.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Charndon for staff days and team lunches

Charndon is about 6 miles east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. For staff events in Charndon, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We take the van to all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 14 miles away.

Nearby historic houses include Claydon House (3 miles east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for vehicles.

We take the van to staff events all over OX27 and the streets around it. Whether your staff event is on Main Street, Spencer Gardens and Wootton Green or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Charndon, we also cover Calvert (1 mile east), Twyford (1 mile north), Poundon (2 miles north-west), Marsh Gibbon (2 miles south-west) and Hillesden (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (14 miles south-west), Bicester (6 miles west), Thame (12 miles south), Kidlington (13 miles south-west), Headington Quarry (13 miles south-west) and Bure Park (6 miles west).

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Charndon

Is Charndon close to London?

About 49 miles from central London.

Is Charndon too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Where will the van go on our site?

Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

Can you serve each shift?

Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

The process

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Charndon is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
