Corporate fish and chip catering in Bitterne Park
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bitterne Park
Could you trade in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you cover Bitterne Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bitterne Park and the rest of Southampton. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Something for staff to gather round
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us break and shift times
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We can serve each shift in turn.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Bitterne Park, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
