Corporate fish and chip catering for Hawley events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hawley
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. We’re often asked to cater workplace fundraising days and retirement send-offs, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Hawley, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Confirm allergies by email
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. A lunch-break van visit in Hawley is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- 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, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Hawley: your questions answered
How far is Hawley from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Events in Hawley and across Hampshire
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
