No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Can the van come to Roughdown?
We do. Roughdown is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you do customer events and open days?

Corporate fish and chip catering in Roughdown, fried fresh
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for customer days and staff appreciation days.
For farms and rural sites near Roughdown, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Working with your venue

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 will confirm what we can provide.
