Corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Froyle
Corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Froyle, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for end-of-project celebrations and summer staff parties.
Near Lower Froyle, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask facilities about access
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Lower Froyle questions
Which station is closest to Lower Froyle?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2 miles east of the centre.
Is Lower Froyle too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lower Froyle?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime staff treats in Lower Froyle are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
