Fresh fish and chips in Allington
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
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. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Allington
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We’re frequently asked to cater project milestones and shift teams at depots and warehouses, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Around Allington, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Allington: your questions answered
Can the van park in Whatman Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Allington?
Barming station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Allington are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff to pre-order
Put bins near the hatch.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
