How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hyde
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include charity days and shift teams at depots and warehouses, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around Hyde can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hyde
Do you come out to small places like Hyde?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to Hyde?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Hyde and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Hyde is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:05pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Hyde? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. 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 generally the easier option.
