About our corporate fish and chip catering in Kearsney
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff do not have to go anywhere. For staff appreciation days and celebrating a big win, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Teams near Kearsney frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies

We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.

What else we do in Kearsney
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Kearsney: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Kearsney?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Kearsney?
Kearsney station, in Kearsney itself.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. 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.
