Corporate fish and chip catering in Parkhurst
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Parkhurst, fried fresh
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. We’re often asked to cater summer team days and open days, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural businesses around Parkhurst can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

FAQs for Parkhurst
Can the van park in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve near the sea around Parkhurst?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Everything cooked to order at your event

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
