Corporate fish and chip catering in Oakley, fried fresh

For farms and rural sites near Oakley, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. A lunch-break van visit in Oakley is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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.
A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Oakley questions
Is Oakley close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Oakley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
