About our corporate fish and chip catering in Bridge
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-project celebrations and warehouse, depot and site teams.
At country workplaces around Bridge, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Bridge
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.
Which station is closest to Bridge?
Bekesbourne station, about 1.2 miles north-east of the centre.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bridge.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bridge?

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect allergies in advance
- Share the shift pattern
- Confirm allergies by email
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
