Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Dunbridge
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving lunches and workplace fundraising days.
Rural businesses around Dunbridge can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
