Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Flete
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include team away days and workplace fundraising days, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Flete, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
FAQs for Flete
Can you serve near the sea around Flete?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Flete close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.

Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Flete, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
