Corporate fish and chip catering in Dover
Corporate fish and chip catering in Dover, cooked to order
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity days and end-of-project celebrations.
In Dover, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. A chip van feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Dover: your questions answered
Is Dover close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Dover?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
