Corporate fish and chip catering in Frilford Heath, fried fresh

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. For lunch for site crews and retirement and leaving lunches, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.

Near Frilford Heath, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

How the day works

You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. A lunch-break van visit in Frilford Heath is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Share the timings for the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Questions from Frilford Heath

Is Frilford Heath too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is Frilford Heath close to London?

About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

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 will take it from there.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What food do you serve?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

How does payment work for businesses?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.

15 questions to ask before you book

Allergies and dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Let us know about coeliac disease

For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A spot near your staff
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

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

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
