Corporate fish and chip catering in Borden, fried fresh
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For open days and lunch for site crews, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
At country workplaces around Borden, 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 will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Borden? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for staff to gather round
- Events in Borden and across Hampshire

Borden: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Borden?
Liss station, about 3.6 miles north-west of the centre.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Borden, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
