Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Fisher's Pond
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and team away days.
Rural businesses around Fisher's Pond can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

FAQs for Fisher's Pond
What’s the nearest station to Fisher's Pond?
Eastleigh station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Fisher's Pond too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in Fisher's Pond are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Perfect for your staff event in Fisher's Pond
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine.
