A chip van near Brattle
Questions from Brattle
What’s the nearest station to Brattle?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
How far is Brattle from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Brattle
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it is open days and customer events and summer team days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Near Brattle, 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.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Flag any coeliac staff
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Food your guests will love

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
