Corporate fish and chip catering for Hambledon events
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hambledon
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will go through what your site needs from us. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for team away days and a monthly Fish Friday.
For farms and rural sites near Hambledon, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Summer events after work in Hambledon have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Put allergy details in writing
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

What else we do in Hambledon
Hambledon questions
Is Hambledon close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Is Hambledon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
