What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
Corporate fish and chip catering in Didcot, fried fresh
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and celebrating a big win.
A staff treat in the car park in Didcot is easy with a chip van, if the site agrees. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask staff to pre-order
When service is finished, we pack up.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime staff treats in Didcot are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
