Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Portsmouth
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it’s team away days and leaving dos, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
Staff lunches in Portsmouth suit a car park or yard. Let us know about gates and site rules. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask facilities about access
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
