Corporate fish and chip catering in Selborne, cooked to order
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-project celebrations and open days.
For farms and rural sites near Selborne, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Selborne: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Selborne?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Selborne from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Share the shift pattern
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime staff treats in Selborne are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
