How our corporate fish and chip catering works in East Wellow
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for friday lunch treats and summer staff parties.
Rural businesses around East Wellow can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in East Wellow
Which station is closest to East Wellow?
Romsey station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.
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.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
