Corporate fish and chip catering in Bighton, cooked to order
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater project milestones and staff thank-you lunches.
At country workplaces around Bighton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. A lunch-break van visit in Bighton is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
After the last group, we pack up.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A quote that spells everything out
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cover Bighton and the whole of Hampshire
Questions from Bighton
How far is Bighton from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Is Bighton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
