How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Dry Sandford
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. We are often asked to cater open days and customer events and workplace fundraising days, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural businesses around Dry Sandford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen needed
- Classic food your staff already know

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

- Send allergies to us in writing

The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For a staff lunch in Dry Sandford, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
