About our corporate fish and chip catering in Wash Water

It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We’re frequently asked to cater staff appreciation days and summer team days, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.

At country workplaces around Wash Water, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Collect allergies in advance

Put bins near the hatch.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

Planning the van’s spot

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • A clear area by the serving hatch

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What we serve

  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips

What affects the price in Wash Water

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • The date and time of year
  • Access and parking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The menu and how many choices

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

What we need to know

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

  • Expected numbers
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • The address or venue name
  • Allergies and diets you know about

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Wash Water questions

Which station is closest to Wash Water?

The closest is Newbury station, roughly 2.5 miles away.

Do you come out to small places like Wash Water?

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

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Where will the van go on our site?

Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Can you invoice the company?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

How it works

On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a staff lunch in Wash Water, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

For event organisers in Wash Water
