Corporate fish and chip catering in Shalcombe
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Shalcombe
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and thank-you lunches for the team.
At country workplaces around Shalcombe, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Shalcombe: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Shalcombe?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Shalcombe too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Shalcombe?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Shalcombe.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Flag any coeliac staff
We can serve each shift in turn.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Shalcombe is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Shalcombe, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
How to prepare

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
