For event organisers in Dunkirk
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Dunkirk
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for fish Friday treats and warehouse, depot and site teams.
At country workplaces around Dunkirk, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Dunkirk questions
Is Dunkirk close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
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.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

What else we do in Dunkirk
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Summer events after work in Dunkirk have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:45pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
