Corporate fish and chip catering in Slough, cooked to order
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for a monthly Fish Friday and staff thank-you lunches.
For a staff lunch in Slough, a car park or yard is typically ideal. Let us know about gates and site rules. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Slough
Could you trade in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Slough?
The closest is Slough station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff typically gather round the hatch once service starts. For a staff lunch in Slough, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing 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
