Corporate fish and chip catering in Andover Down
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Andover Down
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot whether you are first or last in the queue. We’re often asked to cater open days and leaving dos, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Andover Down, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. A lunch-break van visit in Andover Down is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

A chip van compared with other options
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book our van in Andover Down
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Andover Down and the whole of Hampshire
- A clear quote before booking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges

A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
