About our corporate fish and chip catering in Horspath
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Whether it is shift teams at depots and warehouses and retirement send-offs, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Horspath, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Questions from Horspath
What’s the nearest station to Horspath?
Oxford station, about 4.4 miles west of the centre.
Can the van park in Shotover Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you come to Horspath?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Horspath is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Share the shift pattern
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff to pre-order
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime staff treats in Horspath are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
