About our corporate fish and chip catering in East End
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for open days and fish Friday treats.
Near East End, 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 served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us break and shift times
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
We can serve each shift in turn.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

East End for staff days and team lunches
East End is about 11 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. For staff events in East End, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We take the van to 922 places across Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 24 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Smallhythe Place (5 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for vehicles. With the High Weald National Landscape within about 4 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
This part of Kent takes in TN17, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Wood Lane, Mockbeggar Lane and Jackson Way; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover staff events in Fosten Green (1 mile north), Clapper Hill (1 mile north-east), Parkgate (1 mile east), West Cross (2 miles south) and Strood (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (13 miles north), Ashford (11 miles east), Foley Park (14 miles north), Paddock Wood (12 miles north-west), Tenterden (3 miles east) and Bearsted (13 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include Sissinghurst Castle (2.5 miles north-west) and Benenden Hospital (under half a mile south).
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
East End questions
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is East End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
