Fresh fish and chips in Bassett
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Bassett, cooked to order
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for a monthly Fish Friday and staff thank-you lunches.
Around Bassett, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Workplace catering around Bassett
Bassett is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. From the centre of Bassett to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Bassett is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we bring the van.
For staff and visitors coming by train, the closest railway station is Swaythling station, roughly 1.5 miles east of the centre. Within reach of Bassett are historic houses such as South Stoneham House (1.5 miles east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.8 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles. Within about 3 miles of the sea, fish and chips goes down well with any team.
Anywhere in SO16, SO17 and SO15, we can bring the van to you. Streets in the area include Burgess Road, Pointout Road and Chetwynd Road, and the van can serve a staff event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Highfield (1 mile south-east), Lordswood (1 mile west), Chilworth (1 mile north), Coxford (1 mile west) and Shirley (2 miles south-west).

What else we do in Bassett
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a staff lunch in Bassett, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Hot food handed straight over
- Events in Bassett and across Southampton
- Classic food your staff already know
