Fresh fish and chips in Onslow Village
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Onslow Village
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity and fundraising days at work and warehouse, depot and site teams.
Around Onslow Village, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

A chip van compared with other options
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
