Test Valley for staff days and team lunches
Test Valley is about 7 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire. Test Valley is well within our area, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We serve all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Test Valley to Reading (22 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Stargroves (2.7 miles north) and Highclere Castle (3.3 miles east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for vehicles.

Nearby, we also serve staff events in Ashmansworth (1 mile east), Vernham Street (3 miles west), Upper Green (4 miles north), Inkpen Common (5 miles north) and Hell Corner (5 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Basingstoke (15 miles east), Andover (7 miles south), Tadley (13 miles east), Popley (15 miles east), Tidworth (11 miles south-west) and Kempshott (13 miles east).
Open spaces near Test Valley include Pilot Hill.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. A lunch-break van visit in Test Valley is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Food your guests will love
Gravy

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Test Valley
Is Test Valley 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 far is Test Valley from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you cover Test Valley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Test Valley. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A van serves hot food to order. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
