How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Eythorne
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We are often asked to cater retirement send-offs and a monthly Fish Friday, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Eythorne, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
