Corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Padworth, fried fresh

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. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for friday lunch treats and summer team days.

At country workplaces around Lower Padworth, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

How it works

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. After-work summer events in Lower Padworth have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Tell us when you want to eat

Questions from Lower Padworth

How far is Lower Padworth from London?

About 45 miles from central London.

Is Lower Padworth too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you cover Lower Padworth?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Lower Padworth is within our area and the rest of West Berkshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Do we need to provide anything?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

Can you park in our car park or yard?

That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What will facilities need from you?

Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • The date and time of year
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The number of meals

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • A photo of the parking spot

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Padworth?

It doesn’t need a meeting room, a kitchen or a restaurant booking, so it’s easy to organise.

Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

  • End-of-project celebrations
  • Customer days
  • A monthly Fish Friday
  • Charity and fundraising days at work

Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Aldermaston station, about 0.7 miles south-west, is the nearest station.

Comparing caterers

  • When payment is due
  • What the van needs: space, access, power
  • What they can offer for dietary needs
  • Travel, tolls and road charges

Our booking checklist

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Send round an allergy question
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
