How corporate fish and chip catering works in Portsmouth
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for team away days and retirement and leaving lunches.
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot.
What your quote should include
- Whether travel is included
- Any minimum charge
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- The deposit and payment dates
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Give us break and shift times
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Portsmouth: your questions answered
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Portsmouth. See all areas.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
