Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Colt's Hill
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. We are often asked to cater retirement send-offs and staff thank-you lunches, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Colt's Hill, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- We cover Colt's Hill and the whole of Kent
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- No kitchen needed

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Colt's Hill, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
