Corporate fish and chip catering in Tiptoe, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We are often asked to cater friday lunch treats and workplace fundraising days, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Tiptoe, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Tiptoe
Which station is closest to Tiptoe?
The closest is Sway station, roughly 1 mile away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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 you get to enjoy the day.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime bookings in Tiptoe are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Tiptoe for staff days and team lunches
Tiptoe is about 4 miles north-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Bookings in Tiptoe come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Tiptoe is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 14 miles away.
Within reach of Tiptoe are historic houses such as Highcliffe Castle (4.6 miles south-west) and Avon Tyrrell House (5 miles west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. With the New Forest National Park within about 4 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 5 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
We take the van to staff events all over SO41 and the streets around it. Whether your staff event is on Middle Road, Crabbswood Lane and Wootton Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. Nearby, we also serve staff events in Mead End (1 mile north), Sway (1 mile north-east), Bashley (1 mile west), Ashley (1 mile south-west) and Hordle (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Totton (11 miles north-east), Lymington (4 miles south-east), Hythe (12 miles north-east), Ringwood (8 miles north-west), Barton on Sea (3 miles south-west) and Dibden Purlieu (11 miles north-east).

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
