Corporate fish and chip catering in Grange, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving lunches and a monthly Fish Friday.
Near Grange, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Grange hosts choose us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Events in Grange and across Medway
- Quick service from the hatch

Grange questions
How far is Grange from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Grange?
Gillingham (Kent) station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cover Grange?
Yes, we do. Grange is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Service time
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
Send us the date, the address or ME7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. After-work summer events in Grange have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
