Planning an event in Cippenham?
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Cippenham, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. Whether it’s friday lunch treats and warehouse, depot and site teams, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Teams near Cippenham often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us break and shift times
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For an end-of-day event in Cippenham, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
