Corporate fish and chip catering in Woodcote, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We’re often asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and project milestones, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Woodcote, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for special diets

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Lunchtime staff treats in Woodcote are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
