Corporate fish and chip catering for Chilton events
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Chilton, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and retirement send-offs, with mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Chilton, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Chilton
How far is Chilton from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Chilton?
Didcot Parkway station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac staff
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 typically simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Where the van can park in Chilton
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
