Planning an event in Charvil?
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For an end-of-day event in Charvil, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Charvil
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. For shift teams at depots and warehouses and thank-you lunches for the team, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Work events near Charvil might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Give us break and shift times
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Charvil
Is Charvil close to London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Charvil?
The closest is Twyford station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
