Corporate fish and chip catering for East Hagbourne events
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

East Hagbourne: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like East Hagbourne?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us break and shift times
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
