How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Highmoor Cross

Near Highmoor Cross, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your staff
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the shift pattern
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Common questions in Highmoor Cross
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Highmoor Cross close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. After-work summer events in Highmoor Cross have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- 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
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
