Corporate fish and chip catering in Romsey, fried fresh
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for workplace fundraising days and staff appreciation days.
A staff treat in the car park in Romsey is easy with a chip van, as long as the site allows it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
What affects the price in Romsey
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your staff already know

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask staff to pre-order
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
FAQs for Romsey
Is Romsey close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Romsey?
The closest is Romsey station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For an end-of-day event in Romsey, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.

- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
