Details that help

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Allergies and diets you know about

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in The City

A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving lunches and workplace fundraising days.

Rural businesses around The City can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

FAQs for The City

Is The City close to London?

About 35 miles from central London.

Is The City too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can the van come to The City?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including The City. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

What can staff choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

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.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

About the food

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Planning the van’s spot

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A short walk from the party

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to compare vans

The City for staff days and team lunches

The City is about 5 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. For staff events in The City, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around The City.

Central London is about 35 miles from The City, and we cover it as standard. Nearby historic houses include West Wycombe Park House (2.7 miles south-east) and Hughenden Manor (4.4 miles east). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. With the Chilterns National Landscape within about 2 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

This part of Buckinghamshire takes in HP14, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Bottle Square Lane, Radnage Common Road and Green Lane, and the van can serve a staff event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Waterend (1 mile west), Beacon's Bottom (1 mile south-west), Radnage (1 mile north), Bennett End (1 mile north-west) and Green End (1 mile south-east).

Why choose a fish and chip van in The City?

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why The City hosts choose us

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • No surprises in your quote
  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • We cover The City and the whole of Buckinghamshire

Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
