Corporate fish and chip catering in Ivychurch
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Ivychurch
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For end-of-project celebrations and thank-you lunches for the team, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Ivychurch, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Classic food your staff already know
- Events in Ivychurch and across Kent
