Corporate fish and chip catering for Childrey events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Childrey, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for thank-you lunches for the team and summer staff parties.
Rural businesses around Childrey can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Childrey is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 is fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Give us break and shift times
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Send round an allergy question
- Find out what documents the site needs
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
