Planning a team lunch in Poyle
Poyle is about 3 miles north of Staines-upon-Thames, in Slough. For staff events in Poyle, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 31 towns and villages across Slough. We serve events right across the region, from Poyle to Guildford (about 16 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Poyle are Frogmore House (3.5 miles west) and Windsor Castle (3.9 miles west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, about 1.2 miles south-east, is the nearest station.
For staff events in SL3, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. Local streets include Poplar Close, Sherborne Close and Bath Road; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to staff events in Colnbrook (1 mile north-west), Horton (1 mile south-west), Brands Hill (1 mile west), Stanwell Moor (1 mile south-east) and Sunnymeads (2 miles west).

Poyle questions
Do you come out to small places like Poyle?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Poyle?
Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.

Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Poyle.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A lunch-break van visit in Poyle is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book our van in Poyle
- No kitchen needed
- A clear quote before booking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

What else we do in Poyle
Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Where the van can park in Poyle
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
