A chip van near Hildenborough
Corporate fish and chip catering in Hildenborough, cooked to order
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Whether it is friday lunch treats and retirement send-offs, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
At country workplaces around Hildenborough, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Hildenborough: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hildenborough?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Hildenborough from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
