Curdridge questions
Do you come out to small places like Curdridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Curdridge?
The closest is Botley station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Where will the van go on our site?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Staff lunches in Curdridge: access and travel
Curdridge is about 3 miles east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. We cover Curdridge as standard, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time.

Curdridge sits roughly 64 miles from central London, well within our area. Within about 6 miles of the sea, fish and chips goes down well with any team.
We serve staff events across the SO32 and SO30 postcode area. That could mean a staff event at a home on Chapel Lane, Lockhams Road and Botley Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Share the shift pattern
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Curdridge hosts choose us
- Classic food your staff already know
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Something for staff to gather round
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
