How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Grove Green
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We are frequently asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff thank-you lunches, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Around Grove Green, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Grove Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A clear quote before booking
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event in Grove Green. Lunchtime bookings in Grove Green are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Grove Green questions
Can the van park in Vinters Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
