How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Little London
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. Whether it is retirement and leaving lunches and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
At country workplaces around Little London, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask facilities about access
- Let us know about coeliac disease
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Little London: your questions answered
Is Little London close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Little London?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to Little London?
Yes, we do. Little London is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cover Little London and the whole of Hampshire

- How many people are eating

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For an end-of-day event in Little London, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
