How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Ebbsfleet
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for thank-you lunches for the team and customer days.
For farms and rural sites near Ebbsfleet, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Ebbsfleet
Is Ebbsfleet too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Ebbsfleet?
The closest is Thanet Parkway station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
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.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
