Corporate fish and chip catering in Hever
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hever
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Typical bookings include shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff thank-you lunches, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
At country workplaces around Hever, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Hever
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you trade in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you come to Hever?
We do. Hever is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
