Book the van in Clap Hill
Corporate fish and chip catering in Clap Hill, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. We’re frequently asked to cater retirement send-offs and workplace fundraising days, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Clap Hill, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Clap Hill
Is Clap Hill close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. For a staff lunch in Clap Hill, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
