Our booking checklist

Corporate fish and chip catering in Hoath, fried fresh

A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include customer days and summer team days, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

For farms and rural sites near Hoath, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Where the van can park in Hoath

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Step by step

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. After-work summer events in Hoath have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Let us know the serving time

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • The number of meals
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Service time

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

About the food

Gravy

FAQs for Hoath

Could you trade in Curtis Wood?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.

What’s the nearest station to Hoath?

The closest is Herne Bay station, roughly 2.9 miles away.

Do you have allergen information?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

How does payment work for businesses?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.

What do we need to supply?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
