How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Howe Hill
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater open days and shift teams at depots and warehouses.
Near Howe Hill, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Howe Hill
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Howe Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Howe Hill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
