Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Danaway
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for a monthly Fish Friday and summer team days.
Rural businesses around Danaway can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode

Danaway questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Danaway close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you cover Danaway?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Danaway and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
For event organisers in Danaway
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 will work through them with you.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Pie and chips

What to look for in a quote
- How much space the van takes up
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Allergen information for each item
- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Danaway are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in
