What else we do in Downley
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Downley?
There is nothing to book but the van, so it is simple to arrange.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Summer staff parties
- Celebrating a big win
- Retirement and leaving lunches
- Thank-you lunches for the team
For colleagues arriving by train, the nearest station is High Wycombe station, about 1.8 miles south-east.

- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How late numbers can change
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Downley questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Downley close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What about staff who don’t eat 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 fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
