A chip van near Heronden
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Heronden
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. We are often asked to cater summer team days and staff thank-you lunches, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Heronden, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Heronden, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- First, tell us 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

FAQs for Heronden
Do you come out to small places like Heronden?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Heronden?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
