Corporate fish and chip catering in Sandy Balls, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Whether it is end-of-project celebrations and retirement and leaving lunches, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Sandy Balls, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
Common questions in Sandy Balls
Do you come out to small places like Sandy Balls?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
