Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Linwood
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and charity and fundraising days at work.
Near Linwood, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What affects the price in Linwood
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
Larger groups normally 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.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask facilities about access
After the last group, we pack up.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Linwood?
It suits shift teams, because service can be planned in waves.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Linwood book the van for occasions like:
- Open days and customer events

- Shift teams at depots and warehouses
Before you book anyone
- When payment is due

Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Summer events after work in Linwood have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.

Questions from Linwood
Is Linwood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you come onto our site?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
