Fresh fish and chips in Whiteley
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Whiteley
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. For lunch for site crews and customer days, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Work events near Whiteley might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Lunchtime bookings in Whiteley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Whiteley for staff days and team lunches
Whiteley is about 3 miles south-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. For a staff event in Whiteley, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Whiteley is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Whiteley to Southampton (about 6 miles away).
For colleagues arriving by train, the closest railway station is Swanwick station, roughly 0.8 miles south-west of the centre. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
We cover staff events in every part of PO15 and the streets around it. Local streets include Oak Coppice Road, Thyme Avenue and Christie Avenue; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Whiteley, we also cover Burridge (1 mile north-west), Park Gate (1 mile south-west), Segensworth (1 mile south), Sarisbury (1 mile south-west) and Swanwick (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as Winchester (12 miles north), Gosport (7 miles south-east), Havant (12 miles east), Eastleigh (7 miles north-west), Fareham (3 miles south-east) and Horndean (11 miles east).
A little further out are St Andrew's Castle (3.5 miles south-west) and Fareham Community Hospital (1.4 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Swanwick Lakes.
- Local schools include Brookfield Community School and Language College (1.8 miles south-west)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Service time
