How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Higham
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it is friday lunch treats and open days and customer events, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
At country workplaces around Higham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
A chip van compared with other options
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A van serves hot food to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What you get with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Bookings across Medway, including Higham

About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Questions from Higham
Could you trade in Rede Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Higham close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events after work in Higham have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
