How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Blissford
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For team away days and leaving dos, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Blissford, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What else we do in Blissford
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Blissford questions
Is Blissford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
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 Blissford is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:05pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
