How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Denton
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. Typical bookings include staff appreciation days and shift teams at depots and warehouses, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Denton, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Denton: your questions answered
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Denton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are usually cold. A van serves hot food to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Events in Denton and across Kent
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Denton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Contact us 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

- How easy the site is to reach
