About our corporate fish and chip catering in Fordingbridge
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. For a monthly Fish Friday and lunch for site crews, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Around Fordingbridge, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Fordingbridge. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Common questions in Fordingbridge
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. Visitors love it.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fordingbridge.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
