About our corporate fish and chip catering in Thame
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for end-of-project celebrations and open days.
In Thame, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. The van brings lunch to the team. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. After-work summer events in Thame have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.

- Your choice of menu
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is

- A picture of where the van would go

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Questions from Thame
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Thame?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to Thame?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Thame is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Where the van can park in Thame
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Staff lunches in Thame: access and travel
Thame is about 8 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Oxfordshire. We cover Thame as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Thame is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Thame to Oxford (11 miles away).
Thame sits roughly 41 miles from central London, well within our area. Being near the A329 and A418 makes Thame a simple run for the van. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 7 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
Wherever your staff event is in OX9, we can fry fresh for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Upper High Street, Butter Market and High Street or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Thame is on the A329 and A418, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Moreton (1 mile south-west), Towersey (1 mile east), Kingsey (2 miles east), Long Crendon (2 miles north-west) and Haddenham (3 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Oxford (11 miles west), Didcot (15 miles south-west), Bicester (13 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (14 miles west), Henley-on-Thames (15 miles south) and Kidlington (14 miles west).

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
