About our corporate fish and chip catering in Kingsley
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. We’re often asked to cater project milestones and retirement send-offs, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Kingsley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cover Kingsley and the whole of Hampshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
See our prices page or the cost guide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Kingsley
What’s the nearest station to Kingsley?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 3 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
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.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. After-work summer events in Kingsley have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
