Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Downe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Downe, fried fresh
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. Whether it’s shift teams at depots and warehouses and open days and customer events, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
In Downe, lunch breaks are often short, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Tell us about site access and parking. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. After-work summer events in Downe have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Downe questions
Could you trade in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Sausage and chips
