A chip van near Hampton Poyle

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Hampton Poyle, fried fresh

It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. We are often asked to cater charity days and project milestones, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.

Rural businesses around Hampton Poyle can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
