About our corporate fish and chip catering in Comp
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. We are often asked to cater charity days and open days, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Comp, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Other occasions in Comp
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Questions from Comp
Which station is closest to Comp?
Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
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 will follow the site rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Comp?
It’s hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.
