How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Denchworth
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for friday lunch treats and charity and fundraising days at work.
Rural businesses around Denchworth can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Share the shift pattern
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Find out what documents the site needs
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
When service is finished, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

About 59 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Denchworth?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
