Book the van in Blackmoor
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. 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.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Blackmoor
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Typical bookings include leaving dos and charity days, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural businesses around Blackmoor can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Where the van can park in Blackmoor
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask facilities about access
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Blackmoor?

How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Blackmoor, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
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. Ask the council or landowner early.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Questions from Blackmoor
Do you come out to small places like Blackmoor?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Blackmoor?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Typically, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
