How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Gadshill
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. Whether it is leaving dos and celebrating a big win, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.

Gadshill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Gadshill?
The closest is Higham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Gadshill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Gadshill?
We do. Gadshill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Gadshill?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 nobody has to miss the staff event.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
