Corporate fish and chip catering in Ampfield
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Ampfield
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. Typical bookings include open days and a monthly Fish Friday, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Ampfield, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Put allergy details in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Have a back-up for special diets
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
