Corporate fish and chip catering for East Meon events
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in East Meon have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. 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.

Common questions in East Meon
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Is East Meon close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
