Corporate fish and chip catering in Chelsfield
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Chelsfield
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. Whether it’s shift teams at depots and warehouses and customer days, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
For offices in and around Chelsfield, the van usually parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Facilities teams generally need to approve the van, and access needs planning. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Chelsfield: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Chelsfield is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- The date and time of year
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.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For an end-of-day event in Chelsfield, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
