Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Lower Slackstead
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for retirement send-offs and friday lunch treats.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. 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 will quote.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For a staff lunch in Lower Slackstead, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help

- Ask facilities about access
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us break and shift times
When service is finished, we pack up.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Lower Slackstead: your questions answered
Is Lower Slackstead 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.
Which station is closest to Lower Slackstead?
Romsey station, about 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Dietary needs, with numbers
