How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Totton
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include charity days and open days and customer events, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For businesses in Totton, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, if the site agrees. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Events in Totton and across Hampshire

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
