Corporate fish and chip catering in Newbury
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Newbury
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. Typical bookings include team away days and staff thank-you lunches, with pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
A staff treat in the car park in Newbury is easy with a chip van, as long as the site allows it. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime staff treats in Newbury are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Where the van can park in Newbury
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
On the menu in Newbury

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Find out what documents the site needs

When service is finished, we pack up.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Newbury questions

Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Newbury?
Newbury has its own station: Newbury station.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Newbury. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
