Fresh fish and chips in Preston Candover
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Preston Candover
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Whether it’s warehouse, depot and site teams and fish Friday treats, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Preston Candover, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. After-work summer events in Preston Candover have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask staff to pre-order
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
