Corporate fish and chip catering in Tongwell, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it is team away days and customer days, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Tongwell 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 will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Tongwell? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning a team lunch in Tongwell
Tongwell is about 1 mile south of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. Around Tongwell, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground, close to your staff. Tongwell is one of 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes we cover.

Within reach of Tongwell are historic houses such as Linford Manor (1.2 miles west) and Bletchley Park (4.9 miles south).

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us break and shift times
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Tongwell, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
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.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.

Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Milton Keynes included. See all areas.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
