Corporate fish and chip catering in Hacklinge, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. Typical bookings include workplace fundraising days and project milestones, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Hacklinge, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Hacklinge questions
Is Hacklinge close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hacklinge?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Do you cover Hacklinge?
We do. We serve events in Hacklinge and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
