Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Mislingford
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Typical bookings include open days and friday lunch treats, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Mislingford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Mislingford hosts choose us

Mislingford: your questions answered
How far is Mislingford from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Mislingford?
The closest is Botley station, roughly 4 miles away.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Mislingford.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
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 nobody has to miss the staff event.
