Corporate fish and chip catering in Crouch, fried fresh
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. We are often asked to cater retirement and leaving lunches and a monthly Fish Friday, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At country workplaces around Crouch, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send round an allergy question
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
After the last group, we pack up.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

Other occasions in Crouch
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. 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 is fried on the spot.
Crouch questions
Can the van go 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 Crouch too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
