Corporate fish and chip catering for Upper Kingston events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Upper Kingston
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Whether it’s celebrating a big win and customer days, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips for your guests.
Rural businesses around Upper Kingston can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Upper Kingston: your questions answered
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 will follow the site rules.
Is Upper Kingston too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What affects the price in Upper Kingston
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. For a staff lunch in Upper Kingston, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
We can serve each shift in turn.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
