Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Carter's Clay
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for open days and workplace fundraising days.
Near Carter's Clay, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Carter's Clay: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Carter's Clay?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Carter's Clay?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
A chip van compared with other options
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

What affects the price in Carter's Clay
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Roughly how many people, including children

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
