Corporate fish and chip catering for Englefield events
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Englefield
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for fish Friday treats and lunch for site crews.
Near Englefield, 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.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Englefield, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Englefield
Do you come out to small places like Englefield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Where will the van go on our site?
Typically, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What else we do in Englefield
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask facilities about access
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your staff
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
