Corporate fish and chip catering in Dane Hill, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for project milestones and staff thank-you lunches.
At country workplaces around Dane Hill, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

FAQs for Dane Hill
Is Dane Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Dane Hill close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you come to Dane Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Dane Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
