Corporate fish and chip catering in Otterbourne, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater workplace fundraising days and a monthly Fish Friday, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Otterbourne, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Otterbourne, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
