Fresh fish and chips in Medstead
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Medstead
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for workplace fundraising days and lunch for site crews.
For businesses around Medstead, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
What affects the price in Medstead
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Medstead: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Medstead?
Alton station, about 4.4 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Medstead from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Medstead?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
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. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
