Waltham Chase questions
What’s the nearest station to Waltham Chase?
The closest is Botley station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Waltham Chase?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Waltham Chase

The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For a staff lunch in Waltham Chase, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why Waltham Chase hosts choose us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Events in Waltham Chase and across Hampshire
- No kitchen needed
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Put bins near the hatch.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
