How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Halling
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. Whether it’s retirement and leaving lunches and shift teams at depots and warehouses, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Halling, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities about access
- Confirm allergies by email
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For a staff lunch in Halling, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Common questions in Halling
Could you trade in Holborough Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Halling?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Medway. See all areas.
