How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Rudmore
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and lunch for site crews, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Around Rudmore, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Rudmore? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
Larger groups generally 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.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, if it applies
- Any minimum charge

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. After-work summer events in Rudmore have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Why choose a fish and chip van in Rudmore?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- We cover Rudmore and the whole of Portsmouth
- All the chip-shop extras
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen needed
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Send round an allergy question
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff to pre-order
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Rudmore questions
What’s the nearest station to Rudmore?
The closest is Portsmouth & Southsea station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can the van park in Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
Can the van come to Rudmore?
Yes, we do. Rudmore is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
