Corporate fish and chip catering for Brookwood events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Brookwood
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. For workplace fundraising days and lunch for site crews, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Brookwood, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
For event organisers in Brookwood
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask facilities about access
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. A lunch-break van visit in Brookwood is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your staff
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch

Questions from Brookwood
Is Brookwood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Brookwood Lye?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.

What affects the price in Brookwood
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
