Corporate fish and chip catering for Broad Oak events
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Broad Oak, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

What affects the price in Broad Oak

What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A photo of the parking spot
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Broad Oak: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Broad Oak?
Doleham station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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 you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
