Corporate fish and chip catering in Curbridge, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Whether it’s end-of-project celebrations and retirement send-offs, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Teams near Curbridge often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Curbridge
Can you serve near the sea around Curbridge?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Curbridge?
Botley station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come to Curbridge?
We do. We serve events in Curbridge and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Where will the van go on our site?
Normally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
