Corporate fish and chip catering in New Forest, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We’re often asked to cater fish Friday treats and end-of-project celebrations, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural businesses around New Forest can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
New Forest questions
Do you come out to small places like New Forest?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you cover New Forest?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including New Forest. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For an end-of-day event in New Forest, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
