Book the van in Inkpen
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Inkpen, cooked to order
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Whether it is team away days and end-of-project celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Inkpen, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
