About our corporate fish and chip catering in Highclere
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for shift teams at depots and warehouses and charity and fundraising days at work.
For farms and rural sites near Highclere, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Where the van can park in Highclere
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Highclere, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Make sure the van can get in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Send round an allergy question
- Give us break and shift times
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities about access
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
