Corporate fish and chip catering for Bluetown events
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Bluetown
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for charity and fundraising days at work and warehouse, depot and site teams.
Near Bluetown, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bluetown
Could you trade in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
