Corporate fish and chip catering for Olney events
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. After-work summer events in Olney have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Olney
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include thank-you lunches for the team and end-of-project celebrations, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Teams near Olney frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Common questions in Olney
How far is Olney from London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
