Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Ellesborough
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for friday lunch treats and leaving dos.
Rural businesses around Ellesborough can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Ellesborough, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Collect allergies in advance
- Put allergy details in writing
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Ellesborough
Is Ellesborough close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
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.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:

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