Corporate fish and chip catering in Horsmonden, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include charity days and lunch for site crews, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Horsmonden, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a staff lunch in Horsmonden, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
