Corporate fish and chip catering in Hareplain, cooked to order
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. Typical bookings include workplace fundraising days and project milestones, with mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Hareplain, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
About the food

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.

Questions from Hareplain
Which station is closest to Hareplain?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
How far is Hareplain from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to Hareplain?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Hareplain is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, use our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
