Corporate fish and chip catering in Whistley Green, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it’s charity and fundraising days at work and team away days, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Whistley Green, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Whistley Green
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events after work in Whistley Green have 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.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
