About our corporate fish and chip catering in Vernham Dean
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for summer team days and friday lunch treats.
Near Vernham Dean, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Vernham Dean: your questions answered
How far is Vernham Dean from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Vernham Dean too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Vernham Dean? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
