Fresh fish and chips in Dorney

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Dorney

It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and summer team days, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.

Near Dorney, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Dorney?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why book our van in Dorney

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Something for staff to gather round

Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.

How the day works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. A lunch-break van visit in Dorney is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

About the food

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

What affects the price in Dorney

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • The date and time of year
  • Access and parking
  • How many people are eating
  • Distance and any road charges

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

What to tell us

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • A photo of the parking spot
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and time of the event

Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Space, access and the venue

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

From the hatch

  • Mushy peas
  • Staff lunches
  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
