Corporate fish and chip catering in Holybourne, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We’re often asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and summer staff parties, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Holybourne, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What affects the price in Holybourne
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A lunch-break van visit in Holybourne is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
