About our corporate fish and chip catering in Cranbrook
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For friday lunch treats and summer staff parties, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
For offices in and around Cranbrook, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
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.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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.

Cranbrook questions
What about parking in Cranbrook?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Lunchtime staff treats in Cranbrook are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your staff
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Cranbrook is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Cranbrook

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
