Corporate fish and chip catering for Datchet events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for celebrating a big win and staff thank-you lunches.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Datchet
Is Datchet close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Home Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
