Corporate fish and chip catering for Newbury events
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Newbury
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Newbury?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Do you cover Newbury?
Yes, we do. Newbury is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Newbury, fried fresh
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We are frequently asked to cater workplace fundraising days and thank-you lunches for the team, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Newbury, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Lunchtime bookings in Newbury are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
