Fresh fish and chips in Hyde
Hyde for staff days and team lunches
Hyde is about 1 mile north of Winchester, in Hampshire. Hyde is well within our area, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We serve 683 places in Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.
For staff and visitors coming by train, Hyde has its own station, Winchester station.
Anywhere in SO23, SO22 and SO20, we can fry fresh for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hyde
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and shift teams at depots and warehouses, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Around Hyde, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hyde
Is Hyde close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Hyde?
Hyde has its own station: Winchester station.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

What else we do in Hyde
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Give us break and shift times
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
After the last group, we pack up.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.

Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. Lunchtime staff treats in Hyde are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
