What affects the price in South Weirs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in South Weirs
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and fish Friday treats.
Near South Weirs, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Common questions in South Weirs
Is South Weirs too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
