Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Frant
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Whether it is charity and fundraising days at work and fish Friday treats, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
At country workplaces around Frant, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. A lunch-break van visit in Frant is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Where the van can park in Frant
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Quick service from the hatch
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Bookings across Kent, including Frant
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Common questions in Frant
Which station is closest to Frant?
The closest is Frant station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Could you trade in Eridge Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
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 have a hard-surface back-up.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
