How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hungerford
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. For customer days and thank-you lunches for the team, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Hungerford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.
Questions from Hungerford
Is Hungerford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Hungerford from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Hungerford?

Questions to ask before booking

- What the van needs: space, access, power
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. After-work summer events in Hungerford have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Share the shift pattern
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
