A chip van near Langstone
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Langstone
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for open days and customer events and staff appreciation days.
For farms and rural sites near Langstone, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

What affects the price in Langstone
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us break and shift times
- Send round an allergy question
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
After the last group, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How the day works
When we arrive, 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. In Langstone, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
