How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Drayton
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for lunch for site crews and fish Friday treats.
Near Drayton, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Drayton
Is Drayton close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you cover Drayton?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Drayton and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Drayton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:30pm.
