How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Farningham
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We are frequently asked to cater fish Friday treats and warehouse, depot and site teams, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
