How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Tadley
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater customer days and leaving dos.
In Tadley, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. A chip van feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Questions from Tadley
How far is Tadley from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Tadley?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Tadley?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
