Glassenbury is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Glassenbury to Canterbury (about 28 miles away).

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Glassenbury
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. Whether it is customer days and summer team days, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural businesses around Glassenbury can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your staff
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

About the food
Pie and chips

Sausage and chips

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Glassenbury is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
