About our corporate fish and chip catering in Wootton
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater friday lunch treats and lunch for site crews.
Rural businesses around Wootton can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning a team lunch in Wootton
Wootton is in Hampshire. We serve staff events at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Wootton. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Wootton are Avon Tyrrell House (3.2 miles west) and Highcliffe Castle (4 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for vehicles. The New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
For staff events in BH25, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. From Holmsley Road, Wilverley Road and Brownhill Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Neighbouring places where we serve staff events include Ossemsley (1 mile south), Bashley (1 mile south-east), Mead End (2 miles east), Tiptoe (2 miles east) and Ashley (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Totton (11 miles north-east), Lymington (6 miles east), Hythe (13 miles north-east), Ringwood (6 miles north-west), Barton on Sea (3 miles south) and Dibden Purlieu (12 miles north-east).

- Nearby, you will find The Rising Sun pub (0.5 miles south-east)
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Give us break and shift times
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. In Wootton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What else we do in Wootton
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Wootton questions
Which station is closest to Wootton?
New Milton station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
Is Wootton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
