A chip van near Stanmore
Corporate fish and chip catering in Stanmore, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For shift teams at depots and warehouses and open days, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Stanmore, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. After-work summer events in Stanmore 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.

- A spot near your staff
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Stanmore questions
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Stanmore too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cover Stanmore?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Stanmore and across West Berkshire. Send us your date to check availability.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
