A chip van near Newington
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Summer events after work in Newington have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Corporate fish and chip catering in Newington, cooked to order
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and a monthly Fish Friday, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For businesses around Newington, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
When service is finished, we pack up.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
