Corporate fish and chip catering for Steep Marsh events
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff generally gather round the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime staff treats in Steep Marsh are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van

Common questions in Steep Marsh
What’s the nearest station to Steep Marsh?
The closest is Petersfield station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is Steep Marsh 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.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why Steep Marsh hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Something for staff to gather round
- Hot food handed straight over
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
