Corporate fish and chip catering in Brook, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For open days and customer events and warehouse, depot and site teams, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Brook, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

FAQs for Brook
Is Brook too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Brook from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
