Corporate fish and chip catering in Ipsden
Corporate fish and chip catering in Ipsden, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater open days and leaving dos, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Ipsden, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from Ipsden
Is Ipsden close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Ipsden?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What else we do in Ipsden

Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer events after work in Ipsden have light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
How to get a price

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask facilities about access
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Find out what documents the site needs
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Ipsden hosts choose us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Events in Ipsden and across Oxfordshire
- A van that becomes part of the event

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
