Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Tilehurst Within
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for workplace fundraising days and end-of-project celebrations.
Work events near Tilehurst Within might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A chip van suits all of them. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Why book with us
- Events in Tilehurst Within and across Reading
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Read our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For an end-of-day event in Tilehurst Within, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Working with your venue

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
