Corporate fish and chip catering in Broad Tenterden
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Broad Tenterden
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For workplace fundraising days and thank-you lunches for the team, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Broad Tenterden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Broad Tenterden questions
Do you come out to small places like Broad Tenterden?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, 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 clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
