Corporate fish and chip catering in Southampton: what to expect

Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Typical bookings include project milestones and charity days, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.

Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

What you will pay

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What you get with us

  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

How to get a price

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

What’s near Southampton

You will find the van serving near Saint Mary's, St Mary's Independent School and Rockstone Place Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are Bevois Town Primary School (less than half a mile west), The Hobbit pub (within half a mile west) and St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west). Southampton has its own railway station: St Denys station, handy for guests travelling by train. Other landmarks nearby include Marlands Shopping Centre (1 mile south-west) and R J Mitchell Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Open spaces near Southampton include Netley Common.

Team days across Southampton

Most workplace bookings in Southampton are in the bigger towns, such as Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park, with farms and rural sites beyond. We plan access and timings with your site. Around 40 places in Southampton are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue.

Southampton: Commuters will know that Southampton has its own station, St Denys station. Historic houses near Southampton include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles south). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. For a staff lunch in Southampton, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

What the van needs

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A short walk from the party

DIY versus a fish and chip van

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Southampton: your questions answered

Where can the van park?

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

What about staff who don’t eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What paperwork do you provide?

Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.

Can we pay by invoice?

We’ll explain how it works when we quote.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Southampton.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
