About our corporate fish and chip catering in Rockbourne
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and workplace fundraising days, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Rockbourne, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Rockbourne: your questions answered
Is Rockbourne too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come onto our site?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. After-work summer events in Rockbourne have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Rockbourne, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
