Corporate fish and chip catering in Sindlesham
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Sindlesham
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include retirement and leaving lunches and staff appreciation days, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Sindlesham 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, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Sindlesham
Do you come out to small places like Sindlesham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Sindlesham?
The closest is Winnersh station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
