Fresh fish and chips in Colnbrook
Corporate fish and chip catering in Colnbrook, cooked to order
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and staff appreciation days, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Colnbrook, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Colnbrook questions
Which station is closest to Colnbrook?
Sunnymeads station, about 1.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Can the van park in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Colnbrook.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
When service is finished, we pack up.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For event organisers in Colnbrook
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is 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.
