Book the van in Upper Eddington
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Upper Eddington
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. Whether it is warehouse, depot and site teams and charity days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
For farms and rural sites near Upper Eddington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

A closer look at the menu

For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
