Fresh fish and chips in Downham
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Downham
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and friday lunch treats.
Around Downham, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Facilities teams normally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Downham?

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Confirm allergies by email
- Consider a pre-order list
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Lunchtime staff treats in Downham are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
