Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Boyatt Wood
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We’re frequently asked to cater summer staff parties and leaving dos, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Work events near Boyatt Wood might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

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.
Boyatt Wood: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is Boyatt Wood from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
