Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Charlton-in-Dover
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for open days and customer events and thank-you lunches for the team.
Teams near Charlton-in-Dover frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. A lunch-break van visit in Charlton-in-Dover is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your staff
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas

Getting an accurate quote

- Dietary needs, with numbers
