What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Northdown
Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. We are frequently asked to cater customer days and charity and fundraising days at work, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Around Northdown, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Perfect for your staff event in Northdown
Hot food in the car park, rain or shine.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. A lunch-break van visit in Northdown is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
