About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hazelwood
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For friday lunch treats and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
For farms and rural sites near Hazelwood, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hazelwood
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Hazelwood?
The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime staff treats in Hazelwood are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
