About our corporate fish and chip catering in Wickham
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater leaving dos and project milestones.
Rural businesses around Wickham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. After-work summer events in Wickham 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- 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
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

FAQs for Wickham
Is Wickham close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

What else we do in Wickham
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
