Corporate fish and chip catering in Portmore, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and fish Friday treats, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Portmore, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Portmore, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Portmore
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Portmore too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Consider a pre-order list
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
