Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Chieveley
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. For retirement and leaving lunches and lunch for site crews, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Near Chieveley, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Chieveley questions
What’s the nearest station to Chieveley?
The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Is Chieveley 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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
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.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.

Other occasions in Chieveley
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Share the shift pattern
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Put bins near the hatch.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
