How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Ducklington
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and lunch for site crews.
At country workplaces around Ducklington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
