Corporate fish and chip catering in Shootash, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for project milestones and retirement send-offs.
Near Shootash, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Shootash for staff days and team lunches
Shootash is about 3 miles west of Romsey, in Hampshire. Bookings in Shootash come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Shootash is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Shootash to Southampton (9 miles away).
Within reach of Shootash are historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey (3 miles north) and Landford Manor (3.7 miles west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Give us break and shift times
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an end-of-day event in Shootash, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
