Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us break and shift times
Put bins near the hatch.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Oakley
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater team away days and project milestones, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Around Oakley, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
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.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
The process
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. We handle the cooking and serving. Summer events after work in Oakley have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Oakley questions

Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Oakley?
Overton station, about 3.7 miles west of the centre.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you cover Oakley?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Oakley and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
