Corporate fish and chip catering in Newtown, Hampshire

- Friday lunch treats
Book the van in Newtown
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Newtown
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for thank-you lunches for the team and friday lunch treats.
At country workplaces around Newtown, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your staff
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask facilities about access
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the shift pattern
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Newtown
Is Newtown too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Newtown?
Portchester station, about 4.4 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. After-work summer events in Newtown have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Ensure the van can get in
