Corporate fish and chip catering in Oxford, fried fresh

Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. For team away days and charity days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.

Oxford has offices, business parks, depots and warehouses that suit a chip van. The site needs to agree a spot for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Oxford: your questions answered

Is Oxford close to London?

Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What’s the nearest station to Oxford?

The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.6 miles away.

Do you have documents for our site?

Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Can the van come to Oxford?

We do. We serve events in Oxford and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

How do you handle allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Do you do customer events and open days?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

For planners, venues and organisers

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

  • Staff thank-you lunches

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Ask facilities about access

After the last group, we pack up.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

About the food

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

  • 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
