Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Coxford
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Coxford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Coxford is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Coxford
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We’re frequently asked to cater fish Friday treats and leaving dos, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For businesses around Coxford, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Coxford is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Share the shift pattern
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask facilities about access
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas

What affects the price in Coxford
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the parking spot
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 are ready, fill in our quote form.
