A chip van near Sway
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Sway
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and retirement and leaving lunches.
Work events near Sway might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A chip van suits all of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What affects the price in Sway
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Service time
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Sway, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime bookings in Sway are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Questions from Sway
Can you serve near the sea around Sway?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to Sway?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Sway. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
