Book the van in Middle Assendon
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Middle Assendon, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We’re often asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and retirement send-offs, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

Questions from Middle Assendon
How far is Middle Assendon from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
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 about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A menu almost everyone likes

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a staff lunch in Middle Assendon, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
