How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Minstead

Minstead questions
Which station is closest to Minstead?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 3.2 miles east of the centre.
Is Minstead 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.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to Minstead?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Minstead is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Send allergies to us in writing
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime staff treats in Minstead are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
For event organisers in Minstead
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What the van needs

- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
