Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Gosford
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for celebrating a big win and staff appreciation days.
Rural businesses around Gosford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Give us break and shift times
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Gosford
How far is Gosford from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Gosford?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Gosford?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Gosford and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches

Lunchtime bookings in Gosford are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
