A chip van near Nursling
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In Nursling, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Nursling
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week.

Around Nursling, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

FAQs for Nursling
Could you trade in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Nursling?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you cover Nursling?
Yes, we do. Nursling is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Something for staff to gather round
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
