Corporate fish and chip catering in Hythe
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Hythe
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. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for charity days and summer team days.
In Hythe, team lunches tend to be at the office, unit or yard. The van brings lunch to the team. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Hythe to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Sandling station, about 1.4 miles north-west, is the nearest station. By road, Hythe is on or near the A259 and A261, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. Within about a mile of the sea, fish and chips goes down well with any team.
We take the van to staff events all over CT21. Local streets include High Street, Church Road and Station Road; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

A chip van compared with other options

Why book our van in Hythe
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

- A van that becomes part of the event
Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.
What affects the price in Hythe
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Collect allergies in advance
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Send a message round when the van opens.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Where the van can park in Hythe
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
