How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Emery Down
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and open days and customer events, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Emery Down, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
