Corporate fish and chip catering in Eddington
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Send round an allergy question
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Eddington, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for summer staff parties and lunch for site crews.
Around Eddington, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Eddington
What’s the nearest station to Eddington?
The closest is Herne Bay station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you trade in Curtis Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Comparing caterers
- The deadline for final numbers
- Payment terms and deposit
- The van’s size and access needs
- What the price includes, item by item
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. A lunch-break van visit in Eddington is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
