A chip van near Bean
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Bean
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and charity and fundraising days at work.
For farms and rural sites near Bean, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. Lunchtime staff treats in Bean are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bean
Can the van park in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Give us break and shift times
- Consider a pre-order list
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
