About our corporate fish and chip catering in Shillingford

Rural businesses around Shillingford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Shillingford
Do you come out to small places like Shillingford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A lunch-break van visit in Shillingford is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:10pm 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.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
