About our corporate fish and chip catering in West Meon
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For staff appreciation days and workplace fundraising days, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near West Meon, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Common questions in West Meon
Do you come out to small places like West Meon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including West Meon.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

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:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in West Meon? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
What happens on the day
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. For a staff lunch in West Meon, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Consider a pre-order list
- Collect allergies in advance
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.

Takeaway run or book a van?
