About our corporate fish and chip catering in Eastleigh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater leaving dos and open days.
Workplaces in Eastleigh range from offices to industrial units. The van brings lunch to the team. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Eastleigh questions
What’s the nearest station to Eastleigh?
Eastleigh station, in Eastleigh itself.
Can you serve near the sea around Eastleigh?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Eastleigh?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
