Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Questions from Blacklands
Can you serve near the sea around Blacklands?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
When service is finished, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Who books corporate fish and chip catering in Blacklands?
It doesn’t need a meeting room, a kitchen or a restaurant booking, so it is easy to organise.
These are some of the bookings we take around Blacklands:
- Open days and customer events
- Fish Friday treats
- Thank-you lunches for the team
- Project milestones
Being near the A2101 makes Blacklands a simple run for the van.
What your quote should include

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Lunchtime staff treats in Blacklands are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 typically simpler.
