Corporate fish and chip catering in Boyden Gate, cooked to order
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. For open days and customer events and team away days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Near Boyden Gate, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask facilities about access
- Collect allergies in advance
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. After-work summer events in Boyden Gate have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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.

Questions from Boyden Gate
Is Boyden Gate too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Is everything cooked fresh?
