The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For a staff lunch in Broadstone, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Broadstone
Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. We are often asked to cater staff appreciation days and celebrating a big win, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural businesses around Broadstone can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Broadstone: your questions answered
Is Broadstone close to London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Broadstone?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cover Broadstone?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Broadstone and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
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 be honest about what’s possible.

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.

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
