How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Copnor
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We’re frequently asked to cater fish Friday treats and workplace fundraising days, with pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Teams near Copnor often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a staff lunch in Copnor, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day

Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Copnor
How far is Copnor from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
