About our corporate fish and chip catering in Wickham
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Typical bookings include open days and customer events and warehouse, depot and site teams, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Around Wickham, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Wickham, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
FAQs for Wickham
Which station is closest to Wickham?

Do you clear up afterwards?

How soon do we need to book?

Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
