Corporate fish and chip catering in Swanwick, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For charity days and retirement send-offs, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Swanwick, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities about access
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

The closest is Bursledon station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do we need to provide equipment?

Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
