How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Reading Street
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater open days and customer events and charity days, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Reading Street, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Find out what documents the site needs
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Reading Street: your questions answered
Is Reading Street close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Reading Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Reading Street?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Reading Street are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
