About our corporate fish and chip catering in Crowthorne
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for team away days and retirement send-offs.
A staff treat in the car park in Crowthorne is easy with a chip van, if the site agrees. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Crowthorne, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

What affects the price in Crowthorne
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
