Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Fenn Street
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and fish Friday treats, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Fenn Street, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Common questions in Fenn Street
Which station is closest to Fenn Street?
Gillingham (Kent) station, about 4.4 miles south of the centre.
Is Fenn Street 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.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
