Fresh fish and chips in North Fareham
About our corporate fish and chip catering in North Fareham
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include fish Friday treats and staff appreciation days, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near North Fareham, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

The process

- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
