If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Boldre
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Typical bookings include customer days and staff appreciation days, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Boldre, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Boldre: your questions answered
Can the van go 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.
Can you serve near the sea around Boldre?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A lunch-break van visit in Boldre is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:05pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Boldre?

Questions to ask before booking
- Payment terms and deposit
- How many hours the van serves
- Whether there is a minimum
- What the price includes, item by item
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
