About our corporate fish and chip catering in Murcott
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We’re often asked to cater charity days and warehouse, depot and site teams, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Murcott can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

- Whether VAT is included
- What the price includes, item by item
- The van’s size and access needs
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. There’s 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 book our van in Murcott
- No kitchen needed
- A quote that spells everything out
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A van that becomes part of the event
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Lunchtime staff treats in Murcott are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Questions from Murcott
How far is Murcott from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Murcott?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
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.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Murcott.
Do you come to Murcott?
We do. We serve events in Murcott and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
