Fresh fish and chips in Chilworth
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in Chilworth are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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.
Chilworth questions
Is Chilworth close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Chilworth?
Swaythling station, about 1.9 miles south-east of the centre.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Southampton. Find your area.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
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’s soon.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Consider a pre-order list
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We can serve each shift in turn.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
