Corporate fish and chip catering in Buckskin, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For lunch for site crews and summer team days, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Work events near Buckskin might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime staff treats in Buckskin are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.

Questions from Buckskin
Is Buckskin close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Buckskin?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 2 miles away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the van would park

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
