About our corporate fish and chip catering in Eastchurch
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and friday lunch treats, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Eastchurch, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Share the shift pattern
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your staff
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Planning a team lunch in Eastchurch
Eastchurch is about 3 miles east of Minster, in Kent. For a staff event in Eastchurch, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Eastchurch. We serve all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Eastchurch is about 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
This part of Kent takes in ME12, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. Whether your staff event is on High Street, Squires Court and Warden Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you. If your venue is just outside Eastchurch, we also cover Mud Row (1 mile east), Bay View (2 miles east), Warden (2 miles east), Minster (3 miles west) and Leysdown-on-Sea (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (13 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (7 miles south-west), Whitstable (8 miles south-east), Faversham (6 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles east) and Davington (6 miles south).
A little further out are Minster Gatehouse Museum (2.3 miles north-west).
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A chip van compared with other options
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Questions from Eastchurch
Is Eastchurch too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Eastchurch close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
