Pennington for staff days and team lunches
Pennington is about 1 mile south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Pennington is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Pennington is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Pennington to Southampton (14 miles away).
The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. Within about a mile of the sea, fish and chips goes down well with any team.
We serve staff events across SO41 and the streets around it. Your staff event could be at a house on Mead Road, Pound Road and Elm Avenue, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to staff events in Lymington (1 mile north-east), Lower Pennington (1 mile south), Walhampton (1 mile north-east), Everton (1 mile west) and Lymore (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Totton (12 miles north), Hythe (10 miles north-east), New Milton (5 miles west), Ringwood (12 miles north-west), Locks Heath (15 miles north-east) and Warsash (14 miles north-east).
A little further out are St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (0.9 miles north-east) and Yarmouth Castle (3.9 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include Pennington Infant School (under half a mile north)
- Local pubs include White Hart Inn (less than half a mile north-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What affects the price in Pennington
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Pennington?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
See our prices page or the cost guide.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
