How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Highwood
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and summer staff parties, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Highwood, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Do you come out to small places like Highwood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
What paperwork do you provide?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Highwood, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
