A chip van near Gravesend
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Gravesend
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and leaving dos, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Gravesend, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. A chip van feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Questions from Gravesend
Which station is closest to Gravesend?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
How far is Gravesend from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you have documents for our site?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips

Workplace catering around Gravesend
Gravesend is about 9 miles north-west of Gillingham, in Kent. People in Gravesend book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our bookings stretch from Gravesend to London (about 21 miles away).
Central London is about 21 miles from Gravesend. Nearby historic houses include Cobham College (2.9 miles south). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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’s crisp.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Gravesend?
It does not need a meeting room, a kitchen or a restaurant booking, so it is simple to arrange.
