About our corporate fish and chip catering in Frittenden
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it’s familiar and filling. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for team away days and celebrating a big win.
Rural businesses around Frittenden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Frittenden questions
Is Frittenden too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Frittenden?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
Do you come to Frittenden?
We do. Frittenden is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For an end-of-day event in Frittenden, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
