Corporate fish and chip catering in Herne Bay
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Herne Bay
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we’ll confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For project milestones and summer team days, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For businesses in Herne Bay, a Friday lunch in the car park is an easy win, as long as the site allows it. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Questions from Herne Bay
Can the van park in Curtis Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Herne Bay?
Herne Bay station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
