A chip van near Blackness
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Blackness
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Typical bookings include fish Friday treats and lunch for site crews, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Blackness, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Blackness questions
Is Blackness too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
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.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Blackness? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac staff
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Give us break and shift times
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events after work in Blackness have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
