Corporate fish and chip catering in Wolverton
Corporate fish and chip catering in Wolverton, fried fresh
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 it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater lunch for site crews and workplace fundraising days, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Wolverton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Wolverton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Wolverton?
Kearsney station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you trade in Sladden Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer events after work in Wolverton have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
