About our corporate fish and chip catering in Picket Twenty
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For end-of-project celebrations and leaving dos, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Picket Twenty, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. A lunch-break van visit in Picket Twenty is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van

Common questions in Picket Twenty
Which station is closest to Picket Twenty?
Andover station, about 1.8 miles west of the centre.
Is Picket Twenty close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. Visitors love it.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Picket Twenty?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Share the shift pattern
When service is finished, we pack up.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
