Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Rowledge
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it’s project milestones and leaving dos, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Rowledge, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Lunchtime bookings in Rowledge are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van

Is Rowledge 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.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
