Corporate fish and chip catering in Ockham
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Ockham
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. For summer staff parties and project milestones, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Ockham, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. 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.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Ockham, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Ockham
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
