How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Basingstoke

Staff lunches in Basingstoke suit a car park or yard. Tell us about access and security. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Basingstoke, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
