About our corporate fish and chip catering in Abbots Worthy
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. For charity days and fish Friday treats, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
For farms and rural sites near Abbots Worthy, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in Abbots Worthy have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
