Corporate fish and chip catering in Osidge, cooked to order
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. We are frequently asked to cater leaving dos and charity days, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Osidge, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Questions from Osidge
What’s the nearest station to Osidge?
The closest is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can the van park in Oak Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Osidge.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. For a staff lunch in Osidge, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
