About our corporate fish and chip catering in Badlesmere
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Typical bookings include customer days and celebrating a big win, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Badlesmere, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Badlesmere is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Selling station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What do you bring?
