Fresh fish and chips in Cliddesden
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cover Cliddesden and the whole of Hampshire

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Cliddesden
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We’re often asked to cater open days and customer events and staff thank-you lunches, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Cliddesden, 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.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs

- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For an end-of-day event in Cliddesden, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
