Corporate fish and chip catering in Elvetham, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. For project milestones and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Elvetham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Questions from Elvetham
Could you trade in The Views Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Elvetham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Give us break and shift times
- Send round an allergy question
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
