How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Coxheath
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. For summer staff parties and end-of-project celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Around Coxheath, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer events after work in Coxheath have light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Coxheath

Is Coxheath close to London?
About 31 miles from central London.

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Give us break and shift times
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
