Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Highbridge

For farms and rural sites near Highbridge, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Highbridge is about 64 miles from central London. Within reach of Highbridge are historic houses such as South Stoneham House (4.2 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for vehicles.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
What affects the price in Highbridge
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or SO50 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
Perfect for your staff event in Highbridge
A van lunch is a staff treat almost everyone appreciates, from the boardroom to the loading bay.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Team away days
- Retirement send-offs
- Open days and customer events
- Workplace fundraising days
For colleagues arriving by train, Eastleigh station, about 1.7 miles south-west, is the nearest station.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- How many hours the van serves
- The cancellation terms

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
