Corporate fish and chip catering for Chattenden events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Chattenden, cooked to order
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater celebrating a big win and summer team days.
For farms and rural sites near Chattenden, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

FAQs for Chattenden
Is Chattenden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Chattenden close to London?
About 28 miles from central London.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Chattenden?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
