Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Bishopstoke
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for workplace fundraising days and project milestones.
Teams near Bishopstoke frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Bishopstoke: your questions answered
Is Bishopstoke close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches

How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Bishopstoke, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day

What else we do in Bishopstoke
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
