Fresh fish and chips in Bredhurst
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Bredhurst
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. Typical bookings include leaving dos and open days, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Bredhurst can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime staff treats in Bredhurst 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 photo 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bredhurst
How far is Bredhurst from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards normally work well.
Do you cover Bredhurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bredhurst. To check your date, use our quote form.

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
