Corporate fish and chip catering in Oakley, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for customer days and workplace fundraising days.
Teams near Oakley often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What else we do in Oakley
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- 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.

Common questions in Oakley
Which station is closest to Oakley?

Is Oakley close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
