Corporate fish and chip catering in Lambourn, fried fresh

A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. For shift teams at depots and warehouses and charity and fundraising days at work, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.

Work events near Lambourn might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A chip van suits all of them. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Step by step

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a staff lunch in Lambourn, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Lambourn

Is Lambourn close to London?

About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Can you come onto our site?

Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A clear area by the serving hatch

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Popular choices

  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Haddock and chips

Planners, venues and businesses

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
