Corporate fish and chip catering in Headington Hill, cooked to order
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. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for open days and lunch for site crews.
For businesses around Headington Hill, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Give us break and shift times
- Send round an allergy question
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Headington Hill is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
