Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Charing Heath
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so each group can eat within its break. We’re frequently asked to cater thank-you lunches for the team and summer team days, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
At country workplaces around Charing Heath, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime bookings in Charing Heath are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Charing Heath
Which station is closest to Charing Heath?
Charing station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Is Charing Heath too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For event organisers in Charing Heath
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

The menu, dish by dish
