Corporate fish and chip catering in Wildhern, cooked to order
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Whether it is end-of-project celebrations and fish Friday treats, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Wildhern can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Lunchtime staff treats in Wildhern are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Wildhern
How far is Wildhern from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Wildhern too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you come onto our site?
Typically, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
