About our corporate fish and chip catering in Dumpford
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and end-of-project celebrations, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Dumpford, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. A lunch-break van visit in Dumpford is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
After the last group, we pack up.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Dumpford?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Events in Dumpford and across Hampshire
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Dumpford: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Dumpford?
Liss station, about 4.9 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
