- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Smannell
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it’s familiar and filling. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for retirement and leaving lunches and charity days.
For farms and rural sites near Smannell, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Which station is closest to Smannell?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
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 coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
