Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Donkey Town, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and leaving dos, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Donkey Town, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Common questions in Donkey Town
Is Donkey Town 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’s the nearest station to Donkey Town?
Bagshot station, about 2.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Takeaway run or book a 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Donkey Town are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.

- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
