Book the van in Blackbrook
Should I sort the food myself?
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 is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Blackbrook
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. For summer team days and fish Friday treats, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Blackbrook, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Questions from Blackbrook
Is Blackbrook too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Blackbrook from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
