Fresh fish and chips in Southwood
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Southwood, fried fresh
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. We are often asked to cater open days and customer events and end-of-project celebrations, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For businesses around Southwood, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Southwood, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Southwood questions
Can the van park in Ancells Farm Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Southwood from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect allergies in advance
Put bins near the hatch.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
