How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Townhill Park
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. We are often asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and customer days, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Townhill Park, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Townhill Park: your questions answered
Can the van park in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is Townhill Park close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. After-work summer events in Townhill Park have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What affects the price in Townhill Park
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
