Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Collect allergies in advance
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Thruxton
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and leaving dos, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Thruxton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue

- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In Thruxton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 normally the easier option.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Common questions in Thruxton
Is Thruxton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Thruxton from London?
About 67 miles from central London.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
