Corporate fish and chip catering in Waterlooville, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater retirement send-offs and thank-you lunches for the team, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Waterlooville, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. The van brings lunch to the team. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Consider a pre-order list
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events after work in Waterlooville have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will 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.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
