Fresh fish and chips in Cumnor
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Cumnor
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for staff appreciation days and project milestones.
Rural businesses around Cumnor can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Classic food your staff already know

- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Cumnor
