A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Middlegreen
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. For thank-you lunches for the team and warehouse, depot and site teams, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Middlegreen, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Middlegreen?
People remember it.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Charity and fundraising days at work
- Shift teams at depots and warehouses
- Retirement and leaving lunches
- Summer team days
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Langley station, roughly 0.7 miles east of the centre.
What your quote should include
- How much space the van takes up
- Any minimum charge
- What happens if plans change
- The deadline for final numbers
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch

- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Middlegreen: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Middlegreen?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Middlegreen from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For a staff lunch in Middlegreen, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
