Corporate fish and chip catering in East Street
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in East Street
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. We are frequently asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and retirement and leaving lunches, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near East Street, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
East Street for staff days and team lunches
East Street is about 6 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Whether your staff event is in the middle of East Street or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from East Street to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Central London is about 62 miles from East Street. Historic houses near East Street include Goodnestone Park (4.3 miles south-west). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Put allergy details in writing
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: 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. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. For an end-of-day event in East Street, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:45pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
