Corporate fish and chip catering in Elvetham Heath, fried fresh
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. For leaving dos and workplace fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Teams near Elvetham Heath often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are usually cold. A van serves hot food to order. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Elvetham Heath
How far is Elvetham Heath from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Elvetham Heath?
Fleet station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
