How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Millbrook
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and leaving dos.
For businesses around Millbrook, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Millbrook for staff days and team lunches
Millbrook is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. We serve staff events at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Millbrook and the surrounding area. Millbrook is one of 40 places in Southampton where we bring the van.
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Millbrook (Hants) station is about 0.8 miles away. With the New Forest National Park within about 7 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
For staff events in SO15 and SO16, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many staff. Whether your staff event is on Mill Road, Mendip Road and Severn Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Other places close to Millbrook we cover include Regents Park (1 mile north-east), Shirley (1 mile north-east), Freemantle (1 mile east), Maybush (1 mile north) and Redbridge (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (4 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east), Harefield (5 miles east) and Itchen (4 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Marlands Shopping Centre (2 miles east) and Western Community Hospital (0.7 miles north). The countryside around Millbrook includes Testwood Lakes.

- Nearby, you’ll find Blacksmiths Arms (0.8 miles north-east)
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in Millbrook are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Millbrook?
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Events in Millbrook and across Southampton
- A clear quote before booking
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask facilities about access
- Send round an allergy question
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
