A chip van near Horseport
Corporate fish and chip catering in Horseport, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. For lunch for site crews and charity and fundraising days at work, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Near Horseport, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Common questions in Horseport
Do you come out to small places like Horseport?
No, we come to small places too. 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’ll follow the site rules.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you have documents for our site?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Horseport?
We do. Horseport is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Lunchtime bookings in Horseport are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Perfect for your staff event in Horseport
People mix in the queue.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

Other occasions in Horseport
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
